No more than what's already been done, lowered, 17's fitted, exhaust system and matching roof. Very subtle but that's the way I like it :)

Something like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaTvlI4W3bs

But I'd rather have the whole top lift up which will make it alot neater as the shell of the bootlid seals the boot and makes it water tight. Thinking about using a MK3.5 top so I have a brake light too.  :wink:

Ordered two red leather dye kits which equals 300ml in total and now I know I needed 600ml lol, so just need to finish a little on the seat back and then do the seat base. Progress so far.....











Just need to black the rest of the side trims and they can go in :D

Once done I'll use a colour sealer to stop it scuffing etc.....

Just done the black last night at 10.30 with the flood lights on, no wind at all.



Painted speaker grilles and the carpet pieces, also built up centre frame with red lite switches and ciger lighter.
