The group buy which finishes today, is $140. Yes, I'll ship to Canada.
The reason for the price change was that I was/ maybe still supplying a company here.
I had to put the first price in as this is what they were going to sell them for, and you cannot undercut the company you are supplying to. (maybe this has answered some questions Mike Hammond)

Mike... I think Darren has taken pity on us since we're becoming a third world country over here, thus the lower price for us colonials

By the way... I like your idea for led illuminated washer jets!!! We could have coordinated color "dancing waters" action when washing bugs off the windscreen. That would be especially cool at night!!!

Thanks for your positive responses! Very much appreciated!

A message to all who have received and will be receiving kits: I am adding a gallery page on my site and would gratefully appreciate if any of you can find the time to take a pic. of an overview of the cabin with the lights on, not just a close up. ( I do know this is not the easiest pic. to take!) Of course this is soley for my benefit but would hopefully of some interest to others also. Any comments to add would be fantastic as well. Thanks in advance.

Techno Duck: My printer is nothing fancy dan, it is an Epson Stylus Photo 830u. I did find that only using Epson paper gave the best results.

Badass951: The kit is available, visit my website. I will give 10% discount to Rennlisters on the site price from now on, please let this be known to me. (As well a PCGB members, before they grumble!)

I have bought a pre-oval dash and centre console to look at. But, on first glance this doesn't seem to lend itself to a led upgrade unfortunately.

Talking to my friend who makes carbon fibre parts (He supplies TVR with parts. Apparently TVR has just been bought by a 25yr old Russian for fifteen million pounds. Do we own anything in this country!!!???) To look into some items. He only uses pre-preg which is v. expensive, so probably not able to compete in the U.S. market. I have a few things in mind, maybe starting with something simple like kick plates. I bought some for about thirty five quid. I think they are a bit on the thrifty side in fitting etc. I would make them so they contour and fit higher then just a slab you stick on. See pick.

Also, will look into 928's dash wise.

Anyway, cheers for now.
Darren

Yea, just post up some prices when you get a chance because I LOVE!!!!!! the blue ones. Looks like VW's cluster color which after you drive one at night, it is SO nice. Easy to see and not blinding.
