Hi all,I'm the lucky new owner of Joe's Tasmin 2.8i fhc.Went down Saturday (picked the better day!)through the snow from Liverpool to Joe's -new I was buying it -Joe has done a cracking job.Quick deal,seats swapped mx5 out originals re-trimmed back in and off back up north.Previous car was an S3 so have posted on piston heads before and look forward to learning all about Wedges.The car is low mileage but will be well used and I'll try to improve it further whilst in my custody.Thanks again Joe.

Thank you Dave. It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife.

You did more miles in it in one evening than I managed to do in three months. I hope you get lots of use and fun out of it. Please send me a photo of the seats in situ when you get a chance. They turned out just as I'd hoped and looked great.

Happy Wedging thumbup

Hi and welcome also. There's always a wealth of knowledge and excellent technical advice here if (when!!!) you have any issues. Also there are several superb suppliers that can usually source parts. Not sure we are allowed to openly promote them on here though but we can all private message via the PH app. Cheers.
