Steve,


*THE* place to get carpets from is Newton...

http://www.newtoncomm.co.uk/index.html

They're the people that manufacture the carpets in the first place. 
Though not sure if they do the tufted one....

My double duck *roof* is very nice... it just has a nicer look and feel 
to it. Depends how you use your tonneau cover...

The sports/tubular/4-2-1 manifold makes a nice difference to the car - a 
bit more peppy - especially if you add some sports air filters and put 
different needles in your carbs.

I love my standard Mk3 silencer (in SS)... it's got a nice tune too it. 
In actual fact I sort of prefer it over my old 1500s twin exhaust - 
although I did only have them on for a short period of time before my 
car got totalled. Actually coming to thing of it - I think the twin 
exhausts suit the 1500 better - the Mk3 is a bit more "cute"...

Twin exhaust by the way isn't as good as a decent single - in terms of 
exhaust efficiency. Though twins do sound good...


Waffle over...

Happy New Everyone!



James
