Matt B Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Looks great CJ. Gotta be carefull when pushing those switches mate, gonna be a bitch to keep clean I reckon. Looks Bling though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Actually thats not at all bad. When I saw the words leather dash I had imagined padded cells and 60's chic rolled into one lol. It will be easy to keep clean after all the seats clean easy so why wouldn't the dash?? I also really like that issotto steering wheel fella.

dangerous brain Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Originally posted by Matt B Never had a white/ivory sofa then mate? Actually I have a yellow one. Thing is he won't really be sitting on the dash or pawing it (if it was sheepskin then perhaps) so it shouldn't get dirty and most leather cleans up with a wipe just like a painted finish would.

Willson Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Looks great. I especially like the gauges above the stereo ! Super clean ! And the RLTC too CJs car is just sickening ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Thanks for the nice comments guys. As with most things I have done to the car, it was a bit of a gamble whether it would look ok or not but I think the end result here is very good. In fact, these pics do not do it justice as it looks better when the dials are all lit up and glowing too. I am really pleased with the way the car has turned out and, after fixing the infuriating problem with the ignition earlier today, the car feels absolutely superb to drive - in fact, it goes like fcuk!! Funnily enough, it was almost sold last week as a trader I met at Southampton auctions offered me a good price for the beast - but I had to turn him down. Where else could I get a car that whoops Ferarris, Porsche and most everything else out there, looks this good and has cost less than a third of the others?

CJ Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I forgot to say, once again Vince and Andy (AKA Gibson and Boyne), were absolutely brilliant. Their level of customer service and standard of workmanship is impeccable and sets a new standard that a lot of other traders should aspire to. Now where's my fee.......

Amazing grace Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I think the white works extremely well with the orange. Black would have been too predictable and orange, talk about overkill!!! It looks Fab. Where did you get that steering wheel (my eyes have glazed over and my mouth is mumbling uncontrollably, I want one. Are they very ££££££?) Christmas is soon is'nt it? a girl can dream!!!!Loll. Regards, Sheena:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I got the wheel from the bling meister himself - paul e. I am sure he would do a beautiful lady such as yourself a much better price than he did for an ugly old codger like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Very nice CJ, not quite my cup of tea but can't argue with the finish at all. What was the ignition problem you were having? DOn't tell me you were on 5V as well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 It wasnt down to ignition, it was fuelling. I had a duff aeromotive FPR that decided not to increase fuel pressure when under boost. I refitted the old FSE and it is now all AOK. Going to refit the aeromotive on the weekend and that should see me alomost ready to R&R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Glad you got it all sorted in the end mate, nice one - am pleased for ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
