You should be able to count me in, Lexx :)

I feel for the guy who had to do the piping on the seats... one of my pet hates, if I'm honest... Looking really good. :)

I agree about the steering wheel. It's a little too much and looks out of place. All I'm gonna say here is this: watch this space..... ;)

Miss Riley's just lurvely.... almost makes me want to watch Strictly Come Dancing...

I'm rushing headlong towards 40 and yeah, I'd like to win something... knowing my luck though, Mikey Bean would make his own gear gaiter and pip me to the post because of it...!! :oops::rofl:

I have to try one of these...!!

You raise a valid point. In that case, how about... Best Upholsterer...?? :lol:

Best trader, perhaps...? ;)

Telepathic much...?? :lol:

So do we dislike the overall colour? Or more the fact that everything's that colour...?

Just wait and see... ;)

That gives me an idea...! ;)

Cheers Gerry and VS :) Gives me things to look for.

You're not kidding, Lexx!! :lol: I've had a quick look just now and I could see a hose connected to the firewall roughly dead centre of the car - I'm assuming this is the main heater hose? If so, it doesn't seem to be looped anywhere so I think my next stop will be under the dash to check that everything's connected under the steering column. Failing that, I dunno...!!

I have no heat inside the car. I haven't checked anything as yet but I'm just wondering if there's any easy way to check if my heater core's been bypassed...? Anything obvious I should be looking for generally? Blower works fine but only blows cold, radiator is fine, cooling system is fine with no leaks or issues. Cheers.

Three Zeds in one place tonight? Good show as far as I'm concerned! :) Good to see Lexx again and nice to meet Stevie too.

His car's anything but sorted at the moment, buddy. :( Wish him happy birthday and help cheer the poor fella up!

I might take you up on your original offer, if it's still an option...? [/hopeful]

Let me see what money/work/stress/weather are like, mate...! :)

This isn't about trying to match shades of leather, is it...? :(

If me and my mate can successfully convert to a manual, anyone can!

I got a full set of Alcantara panels for free recently from a member, if that's any help...

Do you mean Alcantara seats or just the OEM interior panelling?

Hmmm. Food for thought there. Thanks for all the input, people. :)

Always nice to get a reaction! My idea is not to have any raised vents (RS Turbo, etc) or louvres punched into the bonnet - basically, nothing that stands proud of the existing bonnet line. So any vents I had would be much more subtle than most people imagine (hopefully).
