Chelle Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Car is looking fantastic, really loving the colour. Interior looks amazing, love the little detail on the seat belt clip. I was thinking of putting a mk7 steering wheel in, but wasn't sure until I saw it now on your car. Can't wait to see your car once its completely finished, it already looks so amazing.

Arosaproject Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Just like me with cars, say I'm not going to touch it and then I do lolMines coming apart as it should be going for paint at the start of the year and a few other changes, probably just paint and get the new wheels on next year but will see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) So I have come to a big decision.......the air is being delayed :\Me and the boyfriend are hoping to get a house at the end of the year so the air fund is a big chunk of our house deposit.Despite this, Alvas had a lot of changes this year and will still look amazing in time for next years show season - I hope!

Rich Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I don't like how you're tucking the wire on the passenger side.If you're not doing it all then don't do any of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 That's your opinion, I wanted some of the wires tidied up which I've done. Still got some work to do - no need to be so negative Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
