Top paint mate! Love the interior however maybe try to get the screens put in the headrests?

I was looking at doing that.
I actually cut out the foam and trial fitted them before I put the leather in.
The VT headrests have a curved plastic mould inside them, so while there is plenty of room at the top to fit them snug, there is no room in the middle.

I'm going to pick up another pair from the wreckers and hack em up and see if I can fit the monitor shrouds snugly. If I can, then it's a simple case of taking the leather off the current ones, and putting it on the ones from the wreckers, provided it works.

As for the other suggestions,
1. I got the clear side indicators today and installed them - a lot neater looking.
2. I ordered the Chrome grills last night (Didn't even think about that, so thank you) and should have them in a day or two.
3. Redwall? I'm not too sure how red would look against the blue.... Thought? (Maybe I'll chuck it into photo shop and have a look)

EDIT
Photoshopped Red Walls.
I'm not too sure about the look.....

Here you go

To the post above, yes I did the steering wheel myself too.
Bought the wheel for about $70 from ebay and then found the airbag on there for $260.
I pulled the spokes off and painted them the same colour as I did the dash - windsor blue.

woooahhhhh how clean!!! that is awesome!

Someone above said to remove the tow bar... i would keep it on if I was you... mine has saved my ass (as in the car's rear end :p) on at least 3 occaisions

LOVE the interior... i love that colour, beautiifuull

the only thing I would say is change the back lights over to series 2 and the side indicators to the clear series 2 ones, especially on a dark colour.. very nice car bud

Thanks guys,

I've already changed over the side indicators to clear, now I'm just waiting for the chrome grills.

I'm still in two minds about the rear lights. If I can find one what I need, I'm actually going to change it over the the vx calais/berlina rear end, vx clubsport rear bar and spoiler (already have the spoiler).

I'm just waiting for the others to pop up on ebay, but given how rare they seem, I may settle for the S2 lights for now....
