I got her cleaned up + rear bags back in.. stuck the badges on + did sum little bits.. then took her to early edition .. then it rained on the way down so had to re-do all the cleaning :(..

Anyway heres how she looked

Then i fitted my pikey bigger than pd160 intake mod (idea stolen from joe ).. and bought a carbon fibre engine cover converted for the vrs hense the oil filler is on the wrong side (my propper filler is underneath on the right )

Then bought a full set of Alfa Romeo red leather seats.. door cards + arm rest.. im currently making the fronts fit.. then ill be attemting to get the rears + arm rest in .. could take sum time tho

And how they look in the Alfa

its going to look so good with those seats in. i always wanted red leather, i got tempted by a set of s2000 seats the other week and get my rears and cards redone but i might sell up next year so might not be any point going through all that.

loving the intake too

Ye cheers for the intake info ..

Im not keeping the car forever but my next car/ van is guna be a sensible family wagon so this is my last car im going stupid with lol !.. so im guna finish it no matter what.. then ill probably sell it :(.. but only when im completely happy with it..

Well after f@€£!^& about till 1.00 thismorning trying to make a bracket for the front seats i can confirm... they are NOT a straight fit !... but.. i will get them fitted.. maybe 1 will be fitted by 2night

Haha i didnt think they would lol have u had a crack at the door cards?? they will more than likely be the hardest part

Read from start to finish and will continue to with a large smile

Iv got door cards but im not fitting them.. keeping them incase seat-surgeons cant match the leather so they can use it to re-do the front headrests.. they both have scratches in them ..

Anyway.. iv got the passenger seat fitted :)

Quick work. How easy was it?

How difficult was it? Looks great.

Thanks .. wasnt too bad.. just used a 2meter length of 4mm steel from B&Q. Chopped it up.. drilled (lots) of holes lol..and hey presto

Still got to do the drivers.. but not looking foward to doing the rear backs :/

Thats similar to how ive fitted bucket seats in the past. Think i might take the plunge and get some s2000 seats and get my rears retrimed.

Looks awesome mate! the back will be interesting lol

Both fronts now fitted + fully working :)

Normally dislike estates. But this one is Boss.

Good work!!

Yeh they are dog ugly standard !!

Ahhh they look so good, stop making me want to spend money. There where some nice shades of red in some cars at combe yesterday so dont know just to redo mine in dark red now.

I found a carbon interior rear view mirror by accident while bored at work in a VW accessorys catalogue.. so had to order it

I have a pic of it fitted but the weather was ****e so its not a great pic with a nice wiper smear all over the screen :(
