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

That looks amazing. Retrimming is on next winters list for my Tuscan and may well look into this company as I live in Edinburgh. If it isnt too cheeky to ask could you PM an idea on costs.

Cheers

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.

Looks great, I like the combination of red and black with the silver exterior.

Hi Euan, I really hope you like it - especially as Red and Black was my suggestion - I think it looks amazing, and really makes the car stand out big time. Quilting looks very good. Steering wheels not for me tho - half and half would have been better I think, but each to their own.

Looking forward to seeing it for real some day.
Enjoy the track day Ean - and keep it in one piece !!
Regards
Mike

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.

Yes boot floor is raised to accomidate sub but not by much as it is a new slim line style one.

Remember my inspiration came from the jaguar cx-16 concept on page 1 maybe I took it too far with the steering wheel biggrin

Don't bother what other people think, if you like it that's all that matters....i love it, great contrast with the silver exterior

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.

Looking good, i also like the colour combo but +1 for a no vote on the wheel, but if you like it who cares!
