Re: interested in carbon fibre interior?

I would be very interested, but having just taken my dash apart I have to agree with the earlier comments about the clips at the back of the facia being difficult to replicate.

Re: Insurance - Anyone with a Liverpool post code

Hi Matt, I live in Liverpool, drive a G-ltd, and I'm paying £1200 fully comp on a L2 post code with Tesco, 2 years no claims, £400 excess but I recently got a quote for £900 same details with Sky insurance, might be worth a try
