Hello, I'm looking to give my dashboard a small upgrade, so far i have started with replacing the radio that was stock with a Sony one. I'm looking to change my gear stick knob also and would like any links to some that yous think are good looking and comfy and if someone one could explain the process in replacing one that would be great also I'm also on the looking for the dials that control the heating and AC, if yous have any links to metal or chrome ones that would be great! And finally if yous have any suggestions on what I should do to the dashboard or interior please let me know Thank you David

Had this for about 3 weeks. It's my only car and will see a fair bit of the road (400m a week). It's already very solid body-wise and mechanically. Sold as unwarranted 70k miles but its 100% believable - just no concrete proof as very little history. Mods I know about are: Full re-spray (no rust, no fade, very high standard) KONI fully adjustable coilovers. Magnex stainless exhaust. VW Sebring Alloys (tatty) Plans are to clean it lots, service it lots, fix all the niggles and keep it timeless. (Sorry about the Clio) I'll try to post any major updates, but I'm not good at documenting every little thing. I've already re-attatched a driveshaft as it was put in finger-tight by some moron, had an alignment done, replaced a coolant hose and replaced the bulbs in the clocks (yawn).

Thought I'd spark up a thread as it's been playing on my mind over past couple of weeks and there doesn't seem to be much going on in this section anyway! My R32 was written off in April last year and I've been holding out until everything was all sorted insurance wise and my claim for my injuries had been settled. Beginning of December everything was sorted so I’m now on the lookout for something exciting on the weekend / summer. At this point in time I have £15,500 which comes out of a bond the end of January and I have a mk1 MX5 sat wrapped up in the garage which I'd part with for something special (budget price of £2000 because it's 2 owners, no rust and only 30,000 miles - it'll sell all day long over 2k). So for £17,500 what options would you consider that meets the following: 1. Convertible 2. Petrol 3. Something you don't see daily! 4. Or a future classic Cars I've been thinking of lately are Lotus mk2 Exige (although I kind of want another V6 or V8), Maserati Sypder mk2, Porsche 993 convertible. I have a soft spot for a collectors condition mk2 Clio V6 but I doubt anything special will come up for a while. I'd also like a Beetle V6 but again nothing will come up this year let alone in the coming months. Any other suggestions? The Lupo Gti will be used as my daily, although i don't do that many miles anyway. Sam
