Re: Welcome to the 21st Century

Re: GRP Panels

There is Mark Hodgkinson. I think that's his name. He's on FB. Maybe someone here will have his details.

Re: Lambretta Seat

Well, it's whatever you feel happier with. A good bench seat is definitely a step up and the Pegasus seats are very comfortable. Although, you'll get a sore bum on either eventually. :D

Re: Is this switch correct for my TV?

White. The switch with ivory buttons is a mistake. I was told that the manufacturer replicated the aged appearance of the switch that was supplied. Hence the fact that they remade them in the correct colour.
