    hand made

    That was more if you were into the handmade thing. The models are just plastic kits and for that to work, he would probably have to like that sort of thing. Your best bet is probably the pedals (or something similar). There are some great items in the UK (like dial faces and gear shifters etc), but youve probably left your run a little late there.

    If you are interested in doing a little browsing, there are a whole stack of suppliers on the URL below. Maybe youll get some ideas off that:

    Good Luck!

      How about you venture into audio? Perhaps a nice Pioneer head unit? stock ones are crap, so if he is a audio man, he would love his new head unit!

      If my GF printed off & made the Papercraft FTO for me I'd be a very happy camper indeed :) (plus - it's free, minus the shitload of time & frustration it would take ;))

      Boss kit

      Post by dstocks »

      boss kit is the adapter that allows aftermarket steering wheels to fit the FTO. Im going to ask the question that probably should have been asked at the beginning:

      What is your budget???????

      If you can give us an idea of how much you have to spend, we can probably give you a much better idea of the options you have
