Same colour as my dads that, comes up very nice when clean. Gets dirty though partically the back bumper  :(

When looking out my bedroom i always see some odd looks, cause one of us usually gets the garage, so we have the same spec car. So one day its green, the other cream

One small question, are these headrests the right ones, they look like calibra ones?

And the underbonnet

Oh dear the beige interior - always looks dirty even when clean - worst feature of mine!

1 advantage - you can wipe your seats - mine look dreadfull!

Clean it VAX it - looks grubby >:(

I would prefer a grey as it doen't look dirty straight away.

What is surprising os the amount of 2.5 facelifts here as they are not exactly common

The carpet is a pain to keep clean, that's the only thing that bugs me about it

as you say, the leather is just a wipe off job

Headrests look ok, same as mine only mine are greyish black. Think they look better than the older style with holes in.

Anyway, nice car. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Only wish mines was as clean inside!

cheers for the comments Kev,

I still have a bit to do on it, i was to get a Parrot phone kit, an ipod connection kit and have the windows tinted lightly.

From there it's engine time, set of 3.0 cams, uprated FPR and M tek chip (although that will be sonner rather than later)

Your window tints will make a real difference.  8-)

Try not to go too dark though. First level looks good, anything more and you're asking for trouble with PC Plum and his newly acquired lux/light meter.  >:(

local company down here who will be doing it have said the same, and i wouldn't go overboard as i think it would look a bit silly.

The best i will do is light smoke, gives it a touch of privicy.

it was a cracking car, but then i got bored and broke it and sold all the parts......

I hardly ever used it and it had turned into something that no longer gave me enjoyment, i didn't want anyone else running it into the ground after i had put all that work into it.

Plus it was worth more in pieces  :y
