bogz, im gonna try and do something tricky with my intake... the plan is to still have the dose pipe there, but have a 3" polished intake pipe which will have a pod filter on the end sitting where the stock air box would be. the pipe will be welded on top with a silicone hose joiner glued over the weldmarks so it looks like an intake but in fact does nothing and i still retain the dose pipe jack, yeh i know, he's told me a million times and he told me he thrashed it before i ever did and did a burnout in it and blah blah blah

Cheers man, cant believe you sold yours Also just speaking to Art Trim about installing my VT ss Seats The plan is keep the ss logo and the surround blue/purple pattern but retrim the grey areas in the same calais blue material but he is unsure if he can get the material so might be using the materials off my seats Here is a diagram Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

just a suggestion but have you considered leather? like a dark grey leather, similar to the vs calais seats with the leather outside (like you have circled in the pic) and the fabric middle. i reckon it wouldnt look to bad.

Hey man. I would love to go the dark blue leather from vt's but the thing is I don't want to change my entire interior. The way I see it is if I reupholster the side bits in the same blue Calais material it should suit but still have little bit of spice of life

I'd lose the SS man, but it'll still look good anyway.

yeah im not to sure about the ss or getting the sides trimmed in calais material i reckon it would look odd with the ss pattern and the calais pattern. but its your car do what you wish.

wtf is this PTAHC business? with the seats, the ss scribble bit is actually a really good colour match for the car, with the calais material, as said before the grey doesnt suit the car and i dont wanna change the whole interior to grey to suit the seats
