Hello
Does the sound proofing under the bonnet help much, I've done most of the inside of mine but didn't think about the bonnet Thanks |

Hello.
Very good work. Incredible change from one model to the other! Can you give more information and pictures of your mirror with camera screen? How to you attach this mirror to the window? I also like the badges on the wing. Very nice detail. Léo |

Top notch Frankie. Nice one!
I'm wanting to do the same rear seat conversion with my 57 plate Puma. Did you manage to source the strengthening brackets for the rear seats? |
