Lovely car! The Rs500 block is reinforced, very nice but that mapsensor wiring is horrific, id recommend replacing that loom because that will give you trouble.

Some of the parts that you'd expect there to be plenty of are a nightmare to find. Ive got some of the covers but theyre in rough shape, not even worth fitting tbh

What about rubbing all the plastics on the side down a little and give them a coat of paint, failing that wurth do plastic dye kits that work really well you maybe able to get a grey colour to match

Hi Guys, has anyone got any interior trim parts they could sell me? Please have a quick look at the photos.

All i really have is front seats, front door cards(minus handles and pockets) and rear door cards. I still need rear seats, front kick pannels, door handles, door pockets, arm rest etc
