He won't be able to see at night either.. 
seriously the the triple black combo looks good with your interior.. not sure I could live with the gear knob but it's essentiallly the same as my old Cosworth one so probably feels ok.

yeah back to the thrill seeking at night guessing what's in front of me, hopefully there abit better than the bog standard ones.. I went with wipac quad optics & some real good h4 bulbs they were a lot brighter when I tried them earlier on maybe due to new reflectors.Thanks, yeah happy with how the interior looks now, the black seems to stand out better against the magnolia than the silver did. Yeah its a sierra gear knob I have a spare mk3 Capri one too if it ends up scuffed up, shame they weren't leather
I think older cars look a bit odd when dressed up with things that they didn't have at the time. Whilst HIDs would be great for night driving, the bluey light looks odd on 80s cars. Likewise some of the other accoutrments, although the smoked RS turbo lights do look good - this photo is my car!!:
As for your interior, I changed my Sierra gearknob for an alu one which is much better, but I think I should have done the handbrake lever at the same time. I love the later "Personal" TVR wheel as found on late S's and Chims, I have the 4 spoke leather wheel which is nice enough but I don't like it much.
FWIW I think original works best on the S.
Are you going back to the original yellow connector too?

Cheers, id definitely put them on if you got them, to me they look like an extra factory option & really suit the car well.
I think Norman changed them on mine, it had amber indicators before at the front too. I do think the clear indicators look better on certain colours (the maroon of mine certainly, the orange seems to clash with it).As for your interior, I changed my Sierra gearknob for an alu one which is much better, but I think I should have done the handbrake lever at the same time.

Taimar has same old school 7" headlights fitted with Osram Nightbreaker or could be Philips Xtreme vision bulbs (forget which went in the S and which in the Taimar), was out just the other evening after dark and thought they were quite adequate.
Think i got Phillips racing vision +150% in there now, was quite impressedNiceCupOfTea said:

)Although this chap, Donnysoutherner, says there isn't one on the S1 ?
Or does he mean it's already been chopped out
