not a bad idea, but Chavs all buy M&P at the moment

But they do spend a lot of the pram, as its the thing that is seen, so they are a good target customer to make lots of cash from

You need a Chav advertising campaign. Also a couple of Chav models, like a wallet for them to put their dole card in, a compartment they can store their fags. Maybe a collaboration with Adidas for a sporty model.

thanks for the good comments

I had enough daylight time yesterday afternoon to get my seat covers on- they look amazing as the black neoprene exactly matches the black roof.
They are wetokole, from Hawaii, and are essentially wet-suit material sewn to be seat covers. The rear bottom seat was the toughest (re-fitting it after the cover was on) but I finally got it.

Also got my armrest installed, and the parcel shelf. Didnt switch the wheels yet, I'm surprised at how much I like the oem ones on this car...

try getting a pram in with that stupid bar in the back of the GP

A car with a bar in the back saves you having to go to the pub

I'm still wondering about the GP........

Basically it boils down to :

Order a GP ?

or

Get the Works Brakes, and maybe some CF on my current car, (just to revive interest in it) which has pretty much everything on it already , spec-wise, and hold it till at least mid 07, more likely January 08 so I can get a new shape Works Turbo?

What do you lot think?

It also stops you getting a pram in the back.

Me too :
Silver Mirrors, body colour arches and upgrade the HU/Amp and speakers in the front, maybe a Milltek if the JCW zorst is not quite right.
Maybe as well some extra lamps in the tweeters on the front somehow.
