Hi from S Wales

Hi there,

thought I'd pop in and say hello. I have a GR, Kandy Blue, Custom twin exhausts, D'Cuatro front splitter and rear spoiler, Veilside skirts and rear bumper, running on 18" BK rims.

In the process of doing the interior, cream leatherette seats installed last week, sets off the Blue and lightens the interior. Need to brave the doorcards and centre consol next.

cool, I've got the same colour seats as that. Need to do the door cards too. is the material glued onto the card or do you have to stick the leatherette over the existing material?

EDIT, just noticed that the exterior door trims are painted too.

Yeah, and what a biatch to do, went back to the bodyshop twice, due to the paint peeling etc. Used a different type of plastic primer last time, so far no problems. There are still a few areas of paint that need finishing off, and there's a dodgy bit of laquer on the bonnet, but as it's my daily driver it can only go back to the sprayers for a few days at a time. It's going back in in Sept hopefully for the last time. Respray started in Feb, 7 months later it might be finished. :D

Really nice FTO!

Any plans on lowering it? It would finish off the look nicely.

Have got a set of lowered suspension in the garage, shocks and springs, but I only have about 1/2 inch clearance on the front splitter to get on / off my drive with standard suspension on. It will have to wait until I find a house with a flat driveway.

I believe it's the D'Cuatro front splitter and rear spoiler - very very tasty indeed!.
