McDonald Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 A much better match for the interior. Black looks odd in that environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desiro Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 So if I understand! It was all black and you have changed it to beige, except for the steering wheel? In all seriousness, I like the beige with the black wheel. What colour is the exterior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this to this Breaks up the all beige interior nicely imo. Exterior is Agate Grey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_l Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 👍 big improvement. As you say it breaks it up. Same with the black mats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desiro Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I like it, the gear lever is an improvement too. I saw one in agate with beige at a Newby Hall show a few years ago and it looked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robporsche Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) finally got round to fitting the rev gauge in red, tbh its not for the faint hearted and i was regretting it half way through, now knowing how much pressure to apply and how things come out then its pretty straightforward. Made some mistakes and with the needle but managed to work out what i had done wrong so pay attention to where that was sitting when you put it back, i think i was too concerned with breaking it but its actually quite though. really happy with red accents inside the cabin now. still want things to do though, perhaps carplay next Edited May 15, 2021 by robporsche 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I bought some glossfier but did bother, I just did 5 medium coats with the standard plasti dip and it looks a nice satin. It been a while since I’ve used it but I wanted to see how the black contrasts the white before committing to new black badges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_l Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Just completed my first road trip: Norwich to Aviemore and back. Pretty quiet when the roof was up, comfortable and so much luggage space 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_l Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Yes indeed: Old Military Road all the way. We've done this route maybe a dozen times before in the Elise and the A9 never appeals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
