I reckon those cards have been retrimmed or it was a factory option from New. Poverty spec with leather though?

Sure if you use you imagination you could come up with an idea for blanking the holes.

Retrimmed? :P

If they have been retrimmed by you then you could peel the fabric back and fit a plastic blank? It'd be pretty straight forward to make a blank :)

Mine are orignal oem. But i have a solution in mind.

Thanks. Bill. At bit of a rare find tbh. Now i have sat in some porsche tombstones in a mates porsche. There allright but you need to swap the lupo bases over which is a bit of a job. (From what i have been told)

So thats one job of many on my list completed and i'm really pleased with the results. I am not sure what i will cover with the carbon wrap. But thoughts are not to go over the top!

As stated in my last post 'I will persist' I have finally found a complete set for a good price. Here is a picture of them.

Hopefully should arrive by next week and the interior will be nearly sorted. Wooo!

So after not doing a lot of work for various reasons. I did give a clean this weekend and notice some alignment issues since I had the paint work done on the car.

So the move was to take the front bumper and indicator panel off etc. Definitely paid off. Used the spare crash beam I got off a friend of mine and replaced that (old one up for sale). Also found the bumper was missing some screws. Since reinstalled and it looks way better.

The issues I found was

- Bottom screws missing from lower bumper.

- Indicator panel not clipped on one position.

- passenger side not clipped in with mask clips.

This is the one area I could not resolve. I think it needs some new clips.

Oh and one little surprise - yep that is a spare starlite in the wheel well.

I know I have 2 spare Bathursts for my 2 sets and a spare BBS RW for the Dune, but neither will fit in my wheel wells.

Sigggghhhhhhhhh...
