But i need to modify it to white webbing.... hmmm.... this is getting pricey!

If White Webbing was a clue, my answer would be: Billy Idol

before anyone asks.... i had the saddler wrap the new leather over the original leather.... i wanted the steering wheel to be slightly thicker. He really didn't want to do it that way, but i insisted. I hope this works out!

My guess: You are also working on a first year Speedster - in gray and red. When are we going to see some pictures of this?

After seeing these great black/white combinations - seats, steering wheel - I think you should paint the split grill black and go with black 'speedster' script with a gray 'S'.

No to the first year speedster (but you are on the right track)


I think you might be right about the grill and the speedster badge... i keep going back and forth with it. I will let the final decision be made by my wife.... it is after all for her (i have to keep reminding myself of that)

as for the 'S' badge... this is not a widebody so i will leave it off. (i don't want to upset Graham, JP, and of course Jaeger, as well as others with widebody speedsters)
