    as for colours, i say spray it a flourescent yellow
    
    Then do your mirror caps and chevron the same colour, maybe the rear badges to.
    
    would look good on the posi blue

    Sounds good mate!!
    
    If you decide to go glow in the dark yellow, i found a good shop on ebay from America which sell LOADS of glow in the dark paints, going to be gettin some green soon! EDIT - The green drys clear so cant even see its on untill its dark, not sure if the other colours do this though
    
    Can put you onto then in the future if you decide to do it.
    
    but imo fluorescent yellow would look spot on!!
    
    Least you got it in ok, good luck drilling the holes lol god that polish bloke had a hard time with mine haha, got there in the end though

    with that can its no seats only
    
    Plus its bolts thru the car, not to the seat belt mounts or anything.
    
    To keep the rear seats i think you can only have the show cages with no diagonal bar.
    
    Or you can get them with removable diagonal, but that one there bolts in behind the rear seats so even if it didnt have the diagnoal bar it stil wudnt work lol

    That really, really needs a bar crossing at the bottom. Looks to fake at the moment,
    
    I'd go Matt black or maybe even get it covered in a carbon film or something.

    im makign a false floor well in the process actauly as it was for my 106 but i just left it when i got this, ive drawn round the boot carpet and round a template for where the seats go onto a sheet of 5ish mm wood. The idea is to have a two piece false floor that carpeted to match the standard carpet but atm its jst the wood as i havtn got any carpet to cover it so ive left it out and used a rug for now.
