Yeah mate in leather.

As for the wheels mate, yeah I would say 19's although I've not tried 18" but it's close with 19", and wheel style is important, with the 20" rotiform wheels I need 14mm spacers to clear the caliper, but with my 19" wheels I don't, there's quite a lot of clearance, both 8.5" wide and et 45

If Andrea reads this thread she will have your nuts off!
Maybe not a bad thing, I don't think I've ever met her where she's not been pregnant.

I quite often get "what was wrong with the old" cluster,wheels,suspension,seats,dash,stereo,headlights,brakes,steering wheel,etc etc :lol: :lol:

I don't think there as daft as we think they are...... she probably just likes me out of the way in the garage, then she only has 2 kids to look after instead of 3 :lol: :lol:
At least it's not "what's wrong with the old wife" :shock:

Well finally got my interior back :D, so out came the dash, had to sort some wiring out :lol: :shock:

And in with the new, it's been a long and busy day :) :shock: but I'm happy with how it came out, had the top half of the dash and top of door cards covered in leather with silver stitching to match the headlining, then the lower half of the dash, centre console, door cards, bottom of "b" pillars, steering column all covered in alcantara. Then put in the Audi wingbacks, with the help of Stan the man got the heated working off oem switches, fitted footwell lights front and back while I had it all stripped out, got the rear seat retrimmed to better match the wingbacks

Thanks dude, 12 months ago I don't think I would have tackled a dash out, but it's not that bad actually, looks worse than it is....
