Thank you for the all the comments :)

Just got my 2 brand new wheels to changeover now then thats it for spending this year... well maybe... ;) a visit to Norfolk maybe on the cards.. B) (my rears im taking off have a few makes on the rim, one has a mark on one of the spokes, this has been there since i bought the car! But nothing a refurb couldnt sort..)

As for the bike... its my Aprilia RS125.. to practice on, putting in for my direct access this month B) then something a little bigger... 848 is top of the list... but can see me settleing for a 600RR for the time being.. reliability etc..

Cheers

Nick

Looks excellent, definitely given me some food for thought there! Had never considered getting the outer parts of the door cards trimmed. I wonder what a lighter gray alcantara would look like for the inside panel as opposed to carbon (wouldn't look so good on a blue car). Excellent work thumbsup

The interior looks spot on, I would do something about the centre gear lever console if I were you to complete the look, maybe also covered in Alcantara. The doors and seats look perfect. Are you going to do the dash top too (helps with reflections)

I decided against puting alcantara on centre console bit simply because the seat runners rub against this area, so over time would get damaged..

Im going to go for the carbon fibre console when its ready B) (in matt) so will be the end of April ive been told!

Im going to leave the dash top, for now... if i decide to get that done i may well get it flocked instead, as that really does stop the dash glare thumbsup so we'll see!

Be interested to see how it weathers against the drivers side seat runner mate.. my center console is badley scratched...so decided against mine being done... But if u feel yours stands up to it ok, i have plenty of fabric to do it!

Do you need to run your seat back and forth to get in an out? I'm 6 foot, leave the chair in the same position never move it drive the car daily.

that's how you wear out the seat bolsters - best to move the seat right back when you exit/enter and then adjust forward as needed once you're sat
