thanks for that, I am still at the "parking 2 foot from the kerb" stage with them, don't want to kerb them after spending ages sanding and polishing out the corrosion out the rims.

Nice looking car, Mr S... Those alloys look good on the Mk1's; I think Bronze has got an identical set of those alloys on his cabrio as well?

As for interiors, try this place:

I was quoted £950 +VAT for a full front-and-rear-seat retrim in black leather, which I thought was quite a good price.

Lookin good mate, good choice on the refurb, look awesome!  And I know what you mean bout the retrim, leather and alcantara is definately the way to go!! Have you checked ebay, a friend of mine got a full set of recaros trimmed in leather and alcantara for not too much if I remember correctly!

thanks Robbo, yes I will definately be going down the alcantara route, did you see the link I placed above about the black leather and blue alcantara covers in ebay.de. at that sort of price if I think it would be worth doing the next time I go over in the Summer. just to see the quality, tho in the pics it does not look too bad.

Will speak to Newton commercials in the morning.
