Jamie from GBH (ex-GBH I should say) tried one and said they were bloody awful but I guess there are several different types.

As above mate :) If you really want it flocked, Stiggy (Steve Evans) will probably do you a deal. He does flocking from DriftShack motorsport in Kent (5 mins from Brands Hatch) Knowing the amount of track and drift cars he is building you may be able to do some kind of bartering :thumbs:
