Much easier just getting the plastic bits to fill the holes from eBay.

There is a thread about it on here somewhere if I remember correctly.

Agreed.

Thanks for the pics, I'm jealous. Haven't been on a track in years.

hah, I really need mudflaps since I got wider wheels, the dirt covers the fender and door after a couple days.

I got rally armor ones but I am still undecided so I haven't install them yet...

We've got 2 awesome tracks in GP - Zwartkops & Kyalami but track have become a bit of a joke with the marshals not doing their jobs and youngster kamikaze pilots in their golfs and corsas all over the place.

We do the track daze with super bikes at Kyalami and Phakisa, tracks are awesome. There is Idube race track in PMB, which was resurfaced a few years back. Not sure if they open the track up for social days, worth exploring!

Currently run karting races.

Yep, Kyalami is very nice but quite a bit more expensive than Zwartkops if I'm not mistaken. Last track day I've done at Zwartkops was somewhere between R200 and R300 for the day. Just remember that if something happens your insurance won't pay and the Zwartkops staff will make sure of it.

I have these sitting in a box under my desk. I need them to prevent the road sand/salt up here from sandblasting the paint behind the wheels.
