i have that JWT 1200 KG with lightened flywheel on mine. Bearable is subjective, but yes theres clutch chatter from the single mass, its a similar sound to when your throw out/release bearing is going. Its loud enough to notice, especially if your car is quiet/stock. Doesnt bother me at all though. (my car isnt stock) Its not huge but i think it made it a little more responsive. Its a great clutch with loads of clamping force and serviceable/replaceable parts. Also it retains the OE clutch feel and doesnt make it any heavier. You can buy them with dual mass just fyi

Next I had the big idea of changing the colour of all the silver trim in the interior... I dunno why, I guess I like the punishment 😅 Here's most of the bits that will need doing: Steering wheel button surrounds Indicator stalks Main cluster dials facia plate Buttons on either side of the main cluster Heater vent surrounds Door handles (including lock buttons) Rings on centre gauges Rectangle bezel that goes over my tablet install Rings around heater controls Big silver ring around the shifter boot Handbrake button 🙃 The trim piece on the back of the gauge cluster you can only see when looking from the outside... So I got to stripping the interior, carefully! Then it was onto prepping and masking, scuffing all pieces and cleaning with IPA. No going back now 🫣 Masking took an age as it had to be perfect and there were many difficult areas to cover, but any mistakes would mean unsightly overspray or silver not being covered. Next step will be paint!

Ok with large exterior changes recently I turned my attention back to the interior. After having wrapped the dash in Alcantara, including A pillars and door armrests. I went back and forth on what to do with the centre waterfall area on the dash. Wrap it? Paint it? Hydro dip? 😕 With the success of my earlier Alcantara wrapping and how much i liked the finish I decided to give it a bash on this piece too, I knew it would be my hardest piece as it's much more intricate and has many cut-outs etc, pretty intimidating. 🫠 Gave it a proper clean and prep for adhesive: Apply adhesive, Cut out material and lay over piece and smooth down, removing any creases Cut off main large excess material and work over all corners and edges, carefully applying more adhesive in those areas without getting it on the face of the fabric, fun times. This is the most fiddly, messiest and most time consuming step. Now for the trickier piece lol... This is how the underside looks Finished: I also did the airbag/centre part of the steering wheel, don't worry it's just on the cover 😅 This a very tricky and time consuming job, with lots that can go wrong lol. But I'm very pleased I went this route. It looks fantastic imho. Very premium and sporty.

How low do you have to be on fuel for it to be an issue?
