theyre out of an mg zr.werent a direct fit,had to weld up brackets.but worth the effort imorover or mg seats ?
only one of the mounts didnt need a bracket welded on.the sideways bolted one beside the handbrake.other 3 needed brackets fabricatedI'd love mg seats just need a welder did they bolt in by three mounts? Or did all mounts need engineering ?
Literally on edge waiting for more pictures!

Watch that Nismo spoiler rep
I got one and it doesn't quite fit as its slightly twisted, I stupidly had it painted before properly fitting it so I doesn't sit fully flush with the edge of the boot
Just a heads up
Did you buy the power steering bracket with it? You will need to move the power steering pipework down a bit for it to fit.Also test fitted my strut brace, seems fine

the trick to fitting copied/aftermarket fibreglass add-ons is to test-fit the part and then apply heat with heatgun/hairdryer etc to the whole piece.this will soften the piece which will then take on the shape that its been held in place to once it cools down.to be absolutely sure do this process another once or twice.then fettle and fill any imperfections then prime it,then test fit and heat it once more.the remove and paint..job doneYeah I put mine on yesterday, it seems to be near enough but not 100%. But it manageable
Thanks for the heads up
didnt see it fouling any pipework when we offered it up.is this aways an issue?Did you buy the power steering bracket with it? You will need to move the power steering pipework down a bit for it to fit.
Its not a massive clearance issue, a few mm. if you can't work round it then I do do the adaptor bracket.didnt see it fouling any pipework when we offered it up.is this aways an issue?
yeah,turns out there were some issues with it after all...in fact the damn thing didnt fit at all.had to chop a bit out the main section,and put a sleeve in and weld it all back up.and had to buff it in a few places cos of clearance issues with power steering pipes and wiper motor.all done now thoughIts not a massive clearance issue, a few mm. if you can't work round it then I do do the adaptor bracket.
That doesnt sound great :syeah,turns out there were some issues with it after all...in fact the damn thing didnt fit at all.had to chop a bit out the main section,and put a sleeve in and weld it all back up.and had to buff it in a few places cos of clearance issues with power steering pipes and wiper motor.all done now though
yeah mate,it was way off.about 10-15mm by my reckoning.but its all good nowThat doesnt sound great :s
Did you place one end down first then the other? they are a tight fit (intentionally) but you shouldnt have to cut it!
They are all made on the same jig and every other one has fit (that i know of).
reasonably.all the shutlines are perfect,car doesnt crab,didnt scrub tyres and had the original wings.Sure the car has never been bumped?
