No I am not surprised. Just sad that all this EU bullshit is papered over as being a free and fair market for everyones benefit when its clearly not.

Great pics michael.

I dont use the inner 'sharkfin' wings myself though. They keep the engine heat in. OK for winter, but not good for summer.

Keep the pics coming.

Wow it's immculate. Even the Corbeau (or Ridgard, I forgot) seats haven't worn or are discolored. That's almost unique. Nice dog too.
I have used the inner wing plates on my coupees including the front undertray fitted. With a normal engine or even the 1400cc Avonbar I had there are no issues with overheating. And they keep the engine bay clean from roaddirt so you can use them without any problem.
For my turbo engine it might be a problem using them! I will try anyway.

Not that shiny, really, but it still the first gel-coat, so...

Anyone knows if the seats are adjustable in height?

No, they aren't. You have to play with the subframes of the seats, put washers under them, or build our own subframe from strips of steel etc.
