You could happily retrim some of your own for Ł400 no?

top quality but think how much it will be with the door cards and rear bench aswel.

but im going to spend more than that just on a manifold let alone the turbo.

depends what you want from your toy.

i know but i was at the s1 stand the other day at pod and they all bloody look the same its boring the only difference about mine is the comp ths and it wont be long till you see them flying around with them on.

im getting all the plastics inside flocked like dash ect in a dark black so hopefully will look good .... but dont no weather to cage it with some massive rap around buckets or not.

I spent Ł7k on parts for my old S2 after buying it, then started going to town on the shell and found loads of Anne Frank rot, put me in for at least another Ł2k and I just got shot of it all...gutted but least I made a nice chunk back.

I'm with the rest too, don't change colour IMO mate.
