Another update but not very interesting really! Got my bargain ebay storage bag today so stuck it in the boot in the wheel well!

That's pretty cool, but surely having the boot open like that it could easily hit something? Like you lose control of taking it up carefully or whatever if your up against a wall/another car etc.
That's the only thing anyway, I really like the car, have been tempted to at least try diesel power at some point

i did think about this but i rarely reverse into a space and id be concious about where and when id open the boot anyway.I also usually only open the boot when im by it anyway so i reckon itll be ok.Thanks for pointing it out though.

hopefully not but we will see.The boot is fairly weighty so i cant see them making a massive difference to be honest though.
And the springs are only mediums so they wont give massive resistance.

oh and almost forgot! Ive got a couple of bits for the inside,
First up is a dash drinks holder that retracts into the side of the stereo.Just waiting for it to arrive!
And also a second hand valuables drawer that will replace the small cubby above the radio at the moment.I intend to move the radio up to the top of the double din space and have the drawer below for now.Also awaiting delivery!
Pics of them fitted soon!
