Can a mod please move this to projects? Looks like I've caught the modding bug!

Slight update

Originally my plan was to change the carpets only as the originals was badly faded but decided to go for a full quality leather re trim with Wilton carpets as the original leather was Bison (synthetic Leather)

A few before and after pictures (the pics don't sure the true colour of the red due to the flash on the camera. In person the red is much deeper)

There wasn't any speakers in the front so I added some 4" pioneers to the bottom o the doors

Also replaced the pedal box with a carbon fibre one as the original was a metal one

Jesus,

that makes the VX interior construction look well-considered and decently built. What colour were the carpets meant to be originally (they look beige in the pics)

I recently drove a Tuscan with TVR Power's 4.3 Speed Six in it and its fantastic.  Id put your money towards one of their engine upgrades, if/when yours requires it.

That looks lovely Aimy but then I am a little biased. Red interiors look far better than biscuit/biege. 😉

Thanks Andy. The Interior work was carried out by Trim Unique near Blackpool (The people who did the Tuscan Vulcan) there really nice people and very enthusiastic. Their prices are very competitive.

Thanks. Yeah I wanted to go for the Classy look on the Tamora which hopefully I've achieved :)
