I agree morlock, it does look very clean joe.

On the other hand i found some rare goodies yesterday :mrgreen: ....

I fitted them last night and they look brilliant, a bit of Aerospace 303 and they came up better than new, i also applied some metal polish to the speaker covers and they look brilliant. I will post some pictures when i get a chance.

Also just for shits and giggles i put this on the car, it's part of the uber rare red interior :mrgreen: , looked aweful on my car but looks great on a white NA :mrgreen:

I have decided to scrap the idea of red carpet, i agree now that it is too much.

I do not think that red carpet is very practical also and will be running stock black carpeting when I get to replacing the current faded and ripped one.

The speaker covers are an intersting stylistic touch and can go well with the stock aluminium sill panels. I am still debating as to whether add red stitching in the mix in my interior or just keep it black /silver.

Red stitching can look great if done right and there is not too much of it, i think i have a good balance. The speaker covers have really grown on me, will get pics up tonight.

The speaker grills cleaned up awesomly, you should be really happy with the look of the car now, although I still think the vent rings need to be a less shiney finish.

This looked annoyingly good on my car... Although I would need to get more red parts to match it in which could be costly...

Damn bennyboy, that red cover looks flowering hot on your car!!
Red interior on a white car...now there's an idea!!
*looks back at photo*
Damn, that red does look hot!!! :mrgreen:

Cheyne, spray your car white dude, and go the red interior (how's that for being unhelpful!) :P
I have no idea Cheyne..I like the red carpet but then you don't want to over do it with other things red (ie. door cards)
I know meanmx's car looked da bomb with the red seats and red dash, but I also like the console-less set-up with aluminium
highlights tastefully splattered around. :mrgreen:

see what greencomment comes up with. He IS the ideas man.
