Its red leather, which is brighter than mulberry. i believe it is Bridge of Weir leather which is manufactured just 2 miles up the road from the re-trimmers

Looks good to me but are your heater and blower knobs the wrong way round?
Thanks for that I mentioned that to them today and they have swapped them round. Got a phone call today to say it was finished, but was unfortunately not able to get down to have a look at it. Windscreen is going back in on monday and then it will be ready to go.

Can't wait to see it on Monday

Thanks absolutely loving it photos don't do it justice with a flash it makes it look brighter than it actually is. I was expecting a few people not to like the interior but not the steering wheel! I wasn't sure when they suggested it at first but love it now. Always have the standard one to change back toast any point.

Euan, did you have to lift the boot floor to accomodate the amp and sub, or was there naturally enough depth underneath? Nice job BTW.
Yes boot floor is raised to accomidate sub but not by much as it is a new slim line style one.

The red interior looks fantastic..not to sure about the steering wheel though..
Remember my inspiration came from the jaguar cx-16 concept on page 1 maybe I took it too far with the steering wheel biggrin

On the contrary I have valued and appreciate people's opinions on this project as I wasn't sure myself if I was making the right decision, so enjoy the positive and negative feedback about any areas of the retrim.

If if wasn't for all the helpful advice and encouragement I would have /could have just played it safe and gone for an all black interior.
