All I need to do now is apply quick drying varnish and go for a drive while it dries

It good what you can do with a piece of MDF and a jig saw as you saw give them a coat of varnish or the MDF will absorb water and go fluffy a technical term that.

After I uploaded the pic I couldn't believe how cr*p it was. I use low res on my phone so I can upload to site direct without messing around don't know why it was so bad though.

I like using MDF- It does not de-laminate and once varnish seals it it is very stable too

Darren, did you fit the pop studs that secure the boot mat to the backing board. Mine has studs in them , but to be honest they are knackered.

Thanks Darren,unfortunately I cant make Stonleigh this time,are the templates wooden or paper?.

The reason I ask is mine have been amaturely replaced and are not the correct shape.
