I went to Keele University a few years ago and still have mates in Stoke! Never knew there was so much motorsport/tuning garages there!

@gbduo, There are quite a few places in that area and around Staffordshire as well, I think I had about six or seven different places I could have gone too, ranging from Ginetta's, (Ginetta Juniors, I look after two Ginetta Juniors at the moment), to FIA GT spec Aston's and Porsche's and Formula Renault's to Sakar race cars!

Also it looks like the top is a bog standard kitchen top with a curled back splash plate, or is it something tougher?

Nice cars too

Rog,

I think you'll fine those are tool trays, rather than vented units. There are certain companies that specialise in these units and they're a bit more substantial than Howden's kitchen crap.

You can go nuts with this stuff:

Don't ask for prices as a coronary may offend
