Back to a GTV V6
Discussion
Place I used can do virtually anything you want in terms of colours / patterns etc. I chose a gloss finish as its the most durable, was considering matt / satin but was advised that if its cleaned regularly it tends to end up looking like a gloss finish anyway
The instrument surround, centre console, gear surround, mirror switch surround and ashtray lid cost me £130

Some changes completed, others arranged
The carbon dipped items are now fitted
Carbon plenum intake ordered

Replacement intake runners ordered that will be re-chromed
Booked in for a re-paint of bonnet and front bumper using the bodyshop I have used for a few years now - not a cheap job, items will be removed and fully stripped down
And finally, booked in for a new clutch, lightened flywheel and a Quaife diff
Mid-Summer should see me in possession of my perfect GTV

Bit of an update.
Recently got car back from a bonnet and front bumper respray so today decided to do some little jobs
Fitted the carbon fibre airbox that I have had for a few weeks, spruced up some underbonnet components (front injector rail, top engine mount bracket, replaced expansion tank)
Treated paintwork to a layer of AB Abyss spray sealant, not the easiest to apply but pleased with the results

About £1400 all in supplied and fitted (Q2/GTA clutch/solid flywheel). Not sure how easy/difficult it would be to do yourself. I know the gearbox has to be dropped and clutch alignment tool is needed.
