Really close to the end now, my friends.
Andy's worked wonders with the trimming. The dash top, door caps, dash panels and centre console all done and in place now, should have the steering wheel back tomorrow. The door caps still need the end pieces trimmed back to fit.
The extra large Recaro SPGs are going back in necessitating a relocation of the seat belt anchors from the seat base to the tunnel in order to clear the harness anchor points. Here Owen is doing a final clearance check before fitting.

Details: Rob detail polishing the screen apertures before moving on to the spoiler; RS battery cut off switch now fitted and wired in; new engine bay airconditioning pipe arrived to replace the one which stripped the threads on dis-assembly.

Is that the original vinyl gauge surround or a new leather piece? How difficult is it to match the contour of the dash in that area?
I'd like to replace mine at some point but not sure if I can make the material conform to the shape of the dash. Have you ever re-trimmed one w/ Alcantara?

Colin do you find those Techart fog/bake duct combos a PITA to fit properly?
I had them fitted and they required alot of fettling behind the assembly to get them looking right and sitting flush. Certainly didn't seem "plug and play" to me....

Yes, they are. We had to rework the shape to get them to fit & repaint them when we were done. To be fair they were on the car when it arrived, they certainly would not be our first choice, we prefer the factory turbo S version.
