Fitted new beige mats to the Granada today, much better than the black ones previously fitted
They look much better. 
Sadly my Scorpio was a sea of black. Raven Black paint (which did have a nice sparkle in the sun to be fair) but black seats, dash, carpet, etc.
Although it did make finding parts easier.
Not much to post about the Granada
Cleaned it this Sunday and made a short video for it.

Hopefully it highlights how the car looks, really captures the comfort of the cabin too.
The offside rear door is really starting to suffer, will have to think about fitting the spare door I’ve got soon. I also managed to pick up a new old stock front wing so I’ll use that as template to repair both existing wings (missing lower arch liner support) , eventually I’ll replace the wing completely as it is starting to rust

Really enjoying seeing one of these get the love they deserve. As Smith and Sniff would say "rare but nobody cares". My Dad had a 2.9 Ghia X V6 when I was about 10/11, a black 5 door hatch, but it had the full RS bodykit and RS 7 spoke wheels. All my mates thought it was epic! So spacious and comfortable as well as being quick, I was gutted when we went to France on holiday and had to take my mums Mitsubishi Spacewagon as my Dad was worried about catching the RS lip spoiler on the ferry ramp 
The cruise control thing reminded me that I once had a VR6 Passat auto with cruise. My favourite trick was to leave the cruise set at 75, crawl onto a motorway sliproad and hit the resume button, and watch as the pedal went to the floor on its own and the car redlined through all the gears to get up to speed
Hope you get many more miles of enjoyment out of yours, been a great read so far.
