See a therapist or better still give the therapy money to me and I'll see the therapist for you!

Your gallery is really great bones. The interior is wild.

Awwww! thanks Olivia glad you like it. Not well at the moment so a few kind words always help. I'd like to have re-trimmed it in red but to strip out a 911 and re-cover from scratch could add up to 5k! I'm changing the link to my Rennlist gallery which has a few more shots so if you look later you'll see some more. What are you driving till the Mercedes (good choice) gets here?

That colour adds £5k? :twisted:
. Who retrimmed it?

wow people like it!?....think it's one you love or hate. The seats are standard SC sports seats re-trimmed to my pattern by a firm in Enfield called 'B-trim'. They are the local BMW specialists. The job is good but not up tp A1 spec, the leather is nice but not very tough. I wouldn't recommend them as their attention to detail is a little lacking. I had the B-pillar pieces re-done at Southbound Motor Trimmers who are incredibly good and meticulous. The owner David rides a tasty Ducati which is a major Brownie point from me.
The rest of the carpets and trim are original. This winter I am replacing the lower tan floor carpets with new black ones and although I have already re-sprayed the door pocket carpet black and reformed them (steam and weights) I'm going to rplace them too. That should be it for the interior. I have some nice aluminium parts in there, I'll take some more pics and post them soon if I remember.

Nephrite, that sounds very exotic , what the hell is it?

A nice vomit-y shade of green :D

Ah.... maybe you could re-trim the seats like mine with dark green stripes. It would look like a green striped mint! Ithink the interior of mine looks like a giant automotive humbug sweet.

Or get a nice new GT3! The worst possible interior you could get on that is the natural brown, which isn't too bad at all compared to the greeeeen.....

Hi Bones,
Hope ur feeling better. whats up nothing serious I hope. I am driving a Vogue se range rover at moment. Its a beautiful car, black and cream. I went to the shops today and almost took the roof off in a multi storey. Fortunately it lowers down with a touch of a button. It is just 18 months old and we use it predominantly at weekends, Great family car!

Anyway best wishes
O

Thanks Olivia, I've done some unbelievably stupid things in the porker usually when reversing. On the first outing in my freshly painted SC I reversed into a huge and clearly visible 3'0'' diameter concrete roof column! Fortuneately the damage was invisible after an hours polishing.

I deleted my initial thread - sorry - was feeling really cynical that day. Saw the C4S yesterday morning and it's a beaut! Just need to get a PPI done (anyone know a good place near Devon?) and sell my other cars.
