if your spraying it with bumpers still black then go for a light colour if your colour coding it you can pull off a darker colour. But yellow with black bumpers would look sweet or yellow with colour coded is cool, but its what you fancy.

So as the the car is in the paint shop! Thought I mite as well start on the interior,
Not done much today but its something!

Lined the roof with suede
Image

Had to iron out the creases first! (who said bloke can't iron :lol:)
Image

Glued down
Image

And trimmed, holes are cut but forgot picture
Image

Wanted to do the grey bit! But can I get it of! Can I f**k
Image

Holes cut (yes the right one is a bit pissed! Was having a bad day!)
Image

Water oil temp, and oil pressure
Image

Image

So after that I got in a stressed n stop! Try again next time with a fresh head!
