I'm not so much for the lights but do like the black what did you use to paint it? all my previous SEAT cars have had black roof lining.
Nearly 3 litres of black dye mixed 50/50 with still water, the fabric is still nice and soft. I then used the usual primer/paint/lacquer on the plastics and then replaced all the lights with white LED's.pigeyman said:

I like the black headlining... the Rolls Royce experience less so, but your car/your choice!
Thanks, love the colour, its got a nasty bumper/sill scuff on the other side, I’m sorting the brakes & handling out next week plus oil change, then off the the body shop to get it fixed up. Really let’s the car down. Happy with it though, 99% sure it’s got a map on it, feel a fair bit quicker than my old manual when I first bought it
Then the fun starts! Need to swap all the bits I’ve from the old one!

1990 9000 CD Carlsson.
Bought in November 2020 in a bit of a sorry state, lots of time and money put into bringing it back to former glory but I’m a long way off having it finished (do we ever finish?!) but delighted to own it, makes me smile every time I look at it and drive it!

Our 2010 9-5 2.3T Turbo Edition auto estate in Glacier Silver. Owned it for nearly 3 years and just over 100K on the clock so just about run in.
Fitted with Bilstein B8 shocks and Eibach 30mm lowering springs, uprated 20mm rear anti roll bar and polybushes all round. Surprised how at how pliant the ride is and yet it feels so planted in corners. It has also been to Karl for a Stage 1 Noobtune, so 275hp and 420nm torque. The increase in torque over stock really makes the car so much more driveable in my opinion.
The power fold mirrors have never worked, but I recently found a mod on the Saab UK forum where you replace a little component (£2 for 10!) in the back of the mirror. Took 30 mins for each side and we now have folding mirrors again!
