Don't meet up with Sanj as he has the same colour, he will have stripped your car in no time and add it all to his 8-)

Picked it up the other week after trying to spray the front drivers seat the correct colour. Still doesn't match, and the Nappa leather doesn't feel like soft leather now with all the paint on it, so i have rejected it. They have agreed to recover the seat, so waiting to get that delivered from germany.

On the way back from the dealers, the front Zenon went out again, then as soon as I got home the Sat nab flashed on and off, then froze. I couldn't work the SatNav at all. When the Satnav came back on the colour was different, and the font was pixelated, like in a service mode or something. They have changed the bulb, changed the igniter, still this problem, so they think its a module in the drivers footwell that way have got wet when it was valeted, so are going to change that. Hopefully, I'll have it by Christmas!!!

Ho Mrgee

They will try it won't they!!! You stick to your guns as it will be worth it. Lets face it less confrontational mortals would just accept it with out a squeak.

It will be worth the wait and it takes real restraint to turn it down but you won't be disappointed I'm sure :-)

Fingers crossed for a speedy delivery date :-)

Finally got the beast back a week ago. I now have a New front seat skin, and starting to enjoy the car. Got the halos updated, so now a nice bright light instead of the dim light. Just now need to find the time to get the car chipped! :D
