I agree I bet it does look good In White/black
If you like my interior or have similar tastes then dave in mk will sort it. Pretty cheap and good work will look good with leather interior

Yeah definately, it's going to be a decent car that also works on track. So I want it be more than just a second car, make it feel comfortable to sit in, some nice leather and perhaps a few carbon additions inside with a decent enough audio setup so I can at least plug my iPhone in (none of these subs and crap though). But at the same time, make it quick enough in a straight line/round bends and sort out everything else to go with it, suspension, brakes, cooling etc.
No rush on this one though like the last one, I have other cars to drive so it can be off the road.

Exactly what I wanted due to the level of cash needed to get it the way I wanted it I wanted it to look and feel nice inside

Up on stands ready for me to start work when I get back from Germany.
Main things to do are:
Remove front clam and fit new rad and twin fans (Not going charged until end of the year, so will make fair use of them before fitting to the pre-rad.
Fit cool running thermostat
Blank off EGR valve and fit EGR cheater
Source some other wheels.. (TD 1.2s - black please if you have any
)
Clean up suspension and under arches, coat wishbones etc
Suspension refresh - all bushes and ball joints/track rod ends to be done

Yeah, I think that will look quite good, might do the door handles as someone suggested too. I've been contemplating black tubby ears as well
techie would kill me.

Just bought a new set of TD 1.2s in gloss black, gave them a good few layers of wax and sealant before I put some tyres on, getting some covers made up for the wheel caps to cover the TD logo and be replaced with the VX220 logo.
Front clam is now off and every single one of the radiator surround bolts seems to be rusted solid, already drilled 4 of them out.
Rear arch protectors are now black, along with the door grab handles.
No pictures just yet, but hopefully I'll get around to fitting the new rad at some point!

No worries.
Arches sorted (handles and rear griffing/VX220 badges are also done):
Rad replacement time:
EGR Blanking plate and cheater installed:
Smaller nameplates - the others were too large:
