My idea was based on the old 'Blower Bentleys' which often had dark red upholstery. Her idea came while contemplating a bottle of Remy Martin VSOP - amazing the powers of alcohol eh! If you're going for Aston Racing Green you could try to look at the colours used in the tarten pattern of the fabric seats they used.

my seats, dash, whaletail and other bits are remaining as is. but i do need to choose a carpet colour, and still debating the wheel and roof colours. thinking of a mid silver for the rl7 wheels, which is close to the ali colours on window openings etc, but really not decided on the rest till the paint is done and i can offer up some samples or roof and carpet.

Great conversion. I agree RL's look great on griffs. I've been running them for a number of years, 16s fronts 17s rears. 
Keep up the great work. Precat
is that a rear diffuser?....i do like the wheels, though the ones i found were 17 all round Keep up the great work. Precatfitted mine with federal RSR today 235/40 and 255/40 after powder coating, so we will see how they look tomorrow.... the rears look huge, but ian at sportmotive says they will fit............
couldnt get any raceline centre caps, so harry at image wheels made me some to fit from ali

do you think its the front or rear that helps with stability? at proper speed 140 plus, mine starts to get light....to the point i have been thinking of getting a tamora for their reputed handling qualities, though the chaps at sportmotive say that i need a front splitter, and would benefit from a proper suspension set up, as i did all that in the garage with string and tape measures
Possibbly. I've had mine at speeds of around 145-150 (in continental Europe and on track) and it seemed fine, to me at least 
I am given to understand that the splitter does affect stability - mine has one - and that they are also sensitive to the front end rake i.e. they need to be inclined slightly nose down as per the original design. When I had the Nitrons fitted racing green also did a complete laser suspension set-up, front & rear, and it transformed the balance and handling.
