HA HA it probably would have looked ok on this, but to late I swapped it all for original parts, I even sold the
seat back trims for £30 and god knows what they cost to make I just wanted them gone :lol: :lol:

Not sure about red carbon but those seat backs are a small fortune! If I'd known...

So this is the type/colour of napa leather that I'm going with for the seat inserts. Basically using these as accents.

Finalized the trim colors and style today; have changed it from the earlier photos. I guessing I'm being OCD lol

That's not ocd, these touches all matter so need plenty of thought, should look really cool.
I can get you matching seatbelts also if needed lol.
There is a choice of over 200 colours but again its the postage that will always hurt it, you need to move closer lol

Did the sprayer get a bit carried away with that colour and spray the oven doors and walls with it too?

Be confused no more young jedi! lol

Thats why we grafted the B6 rear quarters in to the B7 quarters whilst retaining the RS4 arches. So B7 lights will no longer fit.

The same applies to the front end. As we progress with the reassembly, youll see what i mean from the photos.

We are still painting various parts. Also just discovered that to install the chargecooler, we have to cut more away...and we just painted that part of the car! :-( So once cut we will have to paint again.
