Temp Guage

Folks,

Anyone know where one of these can be bought for the 1098. I think i'm running a bit hot and want to be able to keep and eye on it.

New pref and a good quality one, don't mind spending a few pounds.

Thanks

Traveller rubbers

Folks,

Quick query for ye. Whats the best thing to stick the rear rubbers on a traveller. Thats the rubbers around the back doors and the rubber strip between the back doors.

I'm thinking contact glue but want opinions.

get one in the uk, get a local company to do the mods you want and ship it to paris

verything you mentioned is possible and if your willing to spend up to 9k you will get a very very high spec car
