Looks good mate, I'd like to get my seats done.... best get saving.

Having said that it would be just as cheap to get some after market buckets for £600 and then get a logo stitched into them.

Can i also ask why you would swap a tubby for the v6?

*Edit* Just noticed.... is it going to be a v6 TURBO? =P~

I am not being snobby, you can't expect a budget tyre to be as good on a high power car. I've been there!
