I liked them, but it wasnt till i fitted them today i realised that i REALLY liked the way they look on the car.
just as well as the gottis are now sold...
i planned to refurbish them, but i quite look the look with the gold and green......damn, i'm rethinking colour choices again...still, looking at how little paint is left after the lads at sportmotive have done their "flatting".....wont be much green left

Them wheels look perfect 
Did you remember what offset shifter you ordered I need to order one. How good do these tr6060's look
Neal
the 6060 does look good. there is a little 10mm tab on the back RH of the casing S, about 3mm thick. do yourself a favour and cut it off...there is only 4mm clearance with it fitted, and it does nothing apart from giving something to cable tie to.Did you remember what offset shifter you ordered I need to order one.

for my application the shifter needs to be offset 2.5 inches back, and 2.5 inches right (looking from above, standing behind the transmission).
the closest i found was from ebay guys at $285. this has positive stops (which i now know i didnt need, but they can be locked off)
OFFSET 2" LEFT OR RIGHT 2.450" BACKWARD 81-412-075-07
i think you can get them without positive stops with a part number 81-412-074-07, but i would just ask jeff at performance warehouse.

finally decided on a colour for the repaint of the griff, wanted to stay green, but lighter.... 
reminds me of one of my favourite cars running round le mans

the interior leather and vinyl is a strong biscuit colour, so i need to have a reasonably strong exterior colour too.
sent the dash off to be re-veneered, and will be getting a new carpet and hood retrim over the next couple of weeks.[url]
I agree with you 100% there if I chose to change the colour of mine I would go for the Aston Green similar to Swannys old Griff and a nice biscuit interior similar to RichB's Griffreminds me of one of my favourite cars running round le mans

couple of people have asked for pics of the 6060 shifter fitted... i wont be using the shifter ball (it is as huge as it looks), but i would like to get my original one engraved with the 6 speed shift pattern

i've cut an access panel in the fibreglass tunnel, but made a ali plate with a rubber gearstick gaiter fitted which covers the hole.
i beat this one to give a little clearance, but the new one which i will make is flat as this shifter assembly is lower than the tunnel (no laughing at my panel beating, you dont see this part...)
also, the rl7 didnt come with centres, so had these spun in ali and polished for me to fit the centres and clear the axle nuts at the rear

yes, i cut an access panel (like the later cars), i dont think you could fit it in without though as the top of the shifter is within 5mm of the underside of the tunnel, so no room to manouver it in

i think rich B has more balls than me with regard to interiors.....i have trouble deciding on white vs hint of white for a ceiling
Actually it was Mrs RichB who chose the interior colours and worked out how to lay out the two tone effect, I wanted burgundy red 
Glad she convinced me otherwise though, even after 13 years I still love the inside of my Griff. RichB said:
