As said above....bit of a no brainer really depending on what it's used for! Road car with stripped interior is horrible to live with, track car will be better stripped for obvious reasons. Wouldn't strip an rs turbo just for the look though!

I think that are diferent road car with stripped interior, you can do it soft to have an racing look, but having some part of the original interior look.

i was going to have it stripped out fully but went out in a 90-spec the other week and fell back in love with the interior so have been looking for bits here and there ever since

Not really mate, i don't 'prefer' one or the other, if it's a road car i'd want it fully trimmed etc, if it was a track car i'd want it stripped caged etc.....but as it goes i never thought i'd strip mine and fit buckets etc but i don't regret doing it and actually think it's pretty cool now! Though i only really did it when i started getting into trackdays which is what it's used for primarily now.
