Seagull. I shoo-ed it away before it could take a crap on the softtop.

Haha, same. I don't really have the space to organise one though, especially for something as big as this. Maybe we should all just approach Mania and get them to do the buy/install for us.

Nice shot, and nice mod plan, I'd be interested in a FM butteryfly brace GB also.

The problem with Mania is that they know they're basically the only ones that fit them in Sydney. Therefore, they know they can get away with charging what ever they want and they know we will pay it, because we have no choice :x

If there were enough of us, we could very possibly do a dodgy day for it. The biggest issue I think is just having the space, the tools and the time. Having 5 people with braces all to be done in one day sounds fairly tricky. Especially since we don't have industry grade tools and the fact that none of us will have done it before.

I remember seeing a thread from some dude who used to work at Mania, but left for some reason. Maybe we could apporach him? Can't remember the dudes username though :?

RE clear reflectors/indicators: are they really indicators? if so, have you wired them up? if so, any problems?

The round ones are indicators, the other ones on the front/back are just reflectors. The indicators and reflectors came from mx5parts.co.uk with orange bulbs, so *theoretically* the reflectors should be easy to convert to actual indicators, but knowing which wire to vampire tap and actually wiring it up is the hard part.
I'm not technically minded, so, like almost everyone else, I just left them as reflectors.
