I have been having some work done on the vx recently and thought I would share some pics. I have also done a mini detail over the weekend using quite a few different Meguiars products & Zymol to finish off.

Had my JonnyBoy turbo side vents & spoiler painted and fitted...

Interior is now pretty much finished...Dash, Binnacle, Door Cards, Steering Colunm & Mats all trimmed by Dave the trimmer I have gone for carbon effect leather and yellow stitching. Swapped my suede 300mm OMP wheel as it was wearing out really quick, now have a 280mm Momo Team. Just had an Elise-Shop shift I fitted as well.

Highlight for me are the ears and spoiler but that interior is a close second. Looks fantastic!

Thanks for all the comments thumbsup Wreelybro, the steering column goes back fine, I'm guessing fitment may differ dependant on what material you go for but the leather is perfect. Tuuurtle, its not my garage would love it if it was though!
