but back to the original idea.............

An elite estate with fully electric & memory leather recaro's, ugly wood infills changed - factory cd player with phone.
I'm starting to like the irmsher stuff too.

So, ............... best way to do it?

The sports leather seats found in the MV6, are not memory. Only manual.

You can put the seats in, but will loose, leccy and memory functions.

Do you have a donor MV6?

No, no doner car just trying to establish if that is the better way to go or to source the bits separately........

May even consider getting someone else to do it....

that's a bugger - one toy off the list then and now to decide leather and memory etc or recaro's

It depend how much you use the memory function. I never used it so fitted the Recaros

Yea, your right but if the toy was available I would have liked to go there.........

is your interior (dash plastic dark?)

Only mods worth while imo, are the silver dash bits.

Possible sport seats, depends if you use the memory settings or not.

The interior in my facelift is cream, so no point for me...

MV6 is basically CD spec, so its just trim changes really.

I think that was why I was looking at the changes. The wooden inserts and dash surround look a little dated to me and the carbon look or the silver would be better.

Carbon effect is only in pre-facelift.

Facelift its the silver dash.

i would like the silver bits, but not sure how it would look in a light coloured interior  :-/

Carbon on a facelift...

Thats just plain silver.

There is a carbon effect on pre-facelift.

No it isn't!

Pre-facelift MV6 dash, notice carbon effect.

Its been changed at some point then.

Standard MV6 dash in the facelift is silver

Yep, by me; my point being that you aren't limited to the off-the-shelf options of MV6 silver, Elite wood, or CD greyish black.

Is that mini facelift carbon effect steering wheel compatible with a face-lift car? Do you know if they ever came in the dark grey too rather than pure black?

How did you get the trim strips on the door off? I assumed they where glued on?

Are they whole new strips or had transfers put on?

Btw, do you happen to know if the lower part of the cards can be removed? The section around the speakers, and that run the lower part of the door?

I noticed on post 2002 facelifts, with light coloured interiors, the lower parts where replaced with dark cloth, to hide the static speaker circles that you get after a while with the ligher interior.

Sorry, this isn't going to be much use to you, but they are Elite wood strips which have not left the door card, nor has the door car ever been removed from the door, so I don't know the answers to most of your questions.

They are that shrink to fit sticky back plastic. It took about half an hour with a craft knife, hairdryer and stready hands. They do look very convincing, even sitting in the car.

I don't suppose you know the answer to that steering wheel question do you? I'd love an Irmscher sportier steering wheel with the switches, but not with the silver or wood. That one in your picture looks perfect, but is it "black" or really dark grey like my interior?

Do you you know if they do what I'm after? I'd be happy with no coloured sections if I had to not have the carbon.

Second picture i actually borrowed from Markey Markeys gallery photos.

Its a pre-facelift Irmscher steering wheel, black leather, with the blue ish carbon effect.

Being a steering wheel don't think that heat strink type stuff would work well.

I think the above wheel is your best option...
