Lovely job, really good improvement, other than the matts imo.
Quick q on your rear lights - do you stick a reflector on for mot? Sorry if you already mentioned it.
I haven't had an MOT yet so still to be decided. Hopefully I can sort a reflector soon anyway.Quick q on your rear lights - do you stick a reflector on for mot? Sorry if you already mentioned it.

Apart from being bigger what other advantages are there for fitting these air vents.
It sounds like you're thinking with your head too much 
. I just did it because I thought the original vents were ugly and horrible. The A-Class vent to me is a much nicer design and makes the car feel more premium.
My interior is now done!
Vents painted gloss black, you can also see the magnetic phone holder which seems to work quite well so far.
Heater control panel - I painted the surround liquid yellow, then with the knobs got the sides machined off so it's clearer which direction they're pointing. I then got them painted black too. It's a small detail, but it looks a lot better and makes it easier to control the settings, especially at night.
Today my new carbon fibre Tillett B6 Screamers were fitted. I went with diamond quilted yellow stitching which I think makes them a bit more interesting while not being over the top. For an extra £80 per seat I think it's well worth it.
Outside and I have fitted new Transforged Mirrors. Big improvement in the field of view which reduces blindspots so I'm happy.

And lastly, I got the tow hook painted black as I hated it in red! It's the little things which matter...

Interior looks lovely. I'd probably put a protective coat over the carbon sills though, unless you're fastidious about how you (and your passengers) get in and out they'll end up looking scuffed pretty quickly.
I could never bring myself to tell people how to get in and out of my Elise, but I have seen some people who demand that even other owners enter and exit their cars using their specific method. That's a bit too extreme for me!

Brilliant! Tbh I don't usually look at threads of cars I can't afford! But I really like this and like the way you have gone about making it your own and the attention to detail.You must also be a good photographer as the photo's are another reason I keep looking at the thread as they are very good and the car just pops out in all of them. Wish I could take pictures like that as I don't do my car justice when I take them.
