Time for a little more work on the inside!

Managed to get hold of a black dash-top ( flocked ) and also coming my way are a pair of matching door cards ( flocked and nappa leather mix )

The current seats will eventually be replaced by a pair of Recaro Pole Positions in Leather / Alcantara. Well aware that aftermarket Recaros are fake leather and fake alcantara but had some in a previous car and they were great.

Major works are planned for the bit sat in the back of the car but that's a different story for another day biggrin

Not so much teasing.

More of a case of the funds being available, as soon as they are what's being done will be explained biggrin

Would much rather do it that way and only mention changes that are reasonably close to being done.

Have you seen the Sparco Heritage Collection seats?

Immediately made me think of this car.

This may be of interest.... Otto Models have just released a 1:18th scale resin model of the Renault Clio V6, I collect 1:18th scale models and my Clio V6 model arrived a couple of days ago...



Otto Models can sometimes be a bit hit-or-miss, they are at the cheaper end of the model car price scale but this one is a beauty, great detail and I love the colour. Paint is very shiny and deep.

Just having a look around the Sparco site, can't find anything mentioning heritage.

Will do a bit more digging biggrin

Not been here for a while!

Took the car for an MOT in July, put it back in the garage and it's just been sat there as had no interest in taking it out!. Never took it out for a run during lockdown as, let's be honest, it doesn't exactly sail under the radar.

Been thinking for a while now of moving it on. Got to the stage of mentioning on a few groups that I might be selling it, not a For Sale ad as such but more of a fishing hook.

Then....

Decided to take it out today, did about 20 miles and fell in love with it again biggrin. Hope my pet spider enjoyed the trip as it seems to have spent it's time in the car spinning webs, all over the place.

Having the aforementioned door cards fitted at the end of this month.

Well the door cards and dash top certainly improve the look of the interior!

Well, the day that wasn't going to happen is here,

Due to a change in circumstance another car will be incoming.. Original idea was to store it and get it out now and then but, in reality, that's not going to happen.

Great piece of kit but as a new door opens the old one has to close.
