N comercial seats etc are great though you cant tilt the seats forward without putting seats in full forward then take the headrests off for decent access, may as well be a 2 seater really. The dog takes up the full back seat and is none too happy about it either.


newton com seats do look great, trying to convince myself to get a set red and gold brocade but its so expensive something like £350 a seat, and a set of door cards and panels are about the same, think id rather spend my money on a set of these

i have put my name down for some in fia silver, no deposit though so can always change my mind


am afraid am a complete and actual girl so the interior was where i spent some stupid money. the wheels we had already but had them colour matched when the car was sprayed.

well that was expensive phone call,

a few months ago i gave vortz racing a call and put my name down for some rose petal's in FIA silver,

they're being machined this week so hopefully should be ready to collect in the next week or so,
only downside is im now -£704, but i think they are well worth it!

Great project, will be beautiful when its finished.

Those vortz wheels are very nice, I was tempted before I bought my minilites but just couldnt justify the extra mula to myself!

Good luck
