That's just what I'm thinking of doing. Any hassle getting/fitting the vents? Did you do the one on the passenger side?

No problems really, no didn't do passenger side as would have mean't re-trim or making up a blanking panel which I'm not sure would look too good.
Vents cost £56 for the bits, original hoses will fit straight onto the back of the vent without the need for the old connectors and gives a much better airflow.

Did you recolour the leather parts as well or is it a trick of the light?

Simpo Two,
No, trick of light, neither are a good representation of the actual colour (flint) which is more of a brown, shame never that keen really but liveable.
Cheers

Looks fantastic! I've been considering doing this to mine recently and this is certainly helping the cause.

Any ideas on costs and who fited it etc? Was it a DIY job and if so how much of a nightmare was it?

All the best - Chris
