cheers nitin was a bit low in that pic but now sorted hangers a bit better so will get some more pics.
Not sure if its a difference between the 2.2 and the cars 2.0 origins but none of the hangers on the back half have matched up been a pain.
Seats are much firmer than the originals and tbh although I'm old I wasn't ready for the sea of beige that awaited you every time you opened the door. ;) Need to change the back seat to match now though but 30 quid for 2 front seats and the rear lights isn't too bad, well happy with that and now have a pair of fake carbon rear lights to sell. Although in some ways I liked them now I've got the oem ones on I do prefer it.
To balance things out I was thinking of a black armrest on the centre console maybe

Picked up a jdm dial cluster on ebay for 10 quid so thanks to some advice from merlin stripped it out for the nicer dial rings and the correct rev dial ready to swap over tomorrow.

£10!!? That's a good find. I sold mines for £70 :twisted: :lol:

Why have you stripped it out?. You can get those rings without having to strip that much. :P
