PM me your number and I'll give you a call tomorrow regarding the design. Its kinda part of what I do for a living anyway. I have a pretty good template outside up on 4 axle stands as you might have seen. We get lots of automotive quility vinyl stuff done at work.

Well, another chapter of this build began today.....
The shell is BACK IN HEL!
Once safely back under cover we admired the handy work of Nickson Motorsport, and immediately noticed the TOTAL lack of space within the cabin now!!
SO. First things first, we tried to lift the XL Corbeau seat into the drivers side....Not a chance! Cut the tunnel lip back so it was as slim as it could be. Tried again, still no chance!
Seats have therefore gone back to Corbeau this afternoon, and we'll be trying a std size seat for size on Friday. If that doesnt work we've got Corbeau on hand to make us a custom seat to fit, something which they do alot for the likes of BTCC teams.
Dash has been cut to fit around the cage, and rear subframe is being mock built up so we can see what we need to remake/improve before it all goes off to be powder coated.
Colour is definately now going to be white, with red/black/grey graphics. Just waiting on the bodykit to arrive and then we can get it in the booth for painting. In the meantime, the angle grinder is back out...prepare for more pictures of metal removal

Fitting seats in the S2000 is hard - my Buddyclub XLs only just fit (non FIA). It's the gearbox tunnel which causes the issue. But i'd thought a fixed seat would have been easier, especially with everyhting stripped?
I wanted to fit Exige S seats in mine, as I loved them in that car. I believe they are actually a Corbeau seat, maybe the LE?
If not Recaro SPG and SPA fit nicely.

I'll put some pics up in the morning, think the cage is the main reason. There isnt much left of the tunnel other than the bare skin now and there was still no chance of the seat fitting in. Also doesnt help that the Revolution seat we have kind of flares out which is where it catches mainly...all good fun!
