Talking Crystal Grey in the sun

Now featuring the beesting aerial and the mesh. I think they both look superb! Can't wait for the carbon fibre rear wing and leather!








Enjoy!

They come like that from the factory, all that's needed is some silvered bulbs:

Hmm, yes, I'll have a think about the silvered bulbs, but the current ones aren't really that noticeable.

Those wheels are a bit of a pain to clean, though, maybe some PFF 7s would be easier

Does anyone else find it difficult to keep the inside (inner rim) of the wheels clean - it seems to have a matt surface.

The mesh is from Iain Litchfield/Powerstation, and they (well Curtis) also fitted the radio and aerial

Next time you clean the inside rim of the wheels , Just spray some WD40 Around the inside , Makes cleaning alot easier next time

You will love the leather as well What colour/s are you having ?

Car looks

Tiny, I'm having grey to match the inside trim and the blue. Litcho has contacted your man and is making arrangements for the special embossing on the seats - i.e. he's having a stamp made - should look

I think it's the second best colour after the one I wasn't brave enough to go for - white. Still, each to their own

The aerial is for the DAB radio - didn't want a glass mounted one, and I wanted to get the best reception I could. It works well, as there are very few dead spots around here even though I live on the south coast.

I thought I had cornered the market with a T25 no.plate!!!!!!. Looking good though. Mine is back at Iain's at the mo having the carbon spoiler, PFF7's and a few other bit and bobs done, seems it will never come back.

Oh good, the c/f spoilers are in then (or are you having a c/f splitter?). I agonised for a while over the no. plate, whether to swank around with an 05 or get a T25.

Someone had a slight accident with the front splitter and so both are now going to be carbon.

LOL yes, I think they can be easily damaged - unless you're an old wuss like me

Iain had a black T25 in last time I was there, and with the c/f wing it looked the mutts! It hadn't yet got the splitter on, but I kinda wish I'd gone for it now.... (the c/f splitter that is, not black)

Time goes so slowly when you haven't got your T25 though, you have my sympaphy

Let's have the details then, base car, colour, carbon, wheels etc.

And why did it take so long?

Is the arial functional or cosmetic (looks good either way)?

Seriously good looking grills too, BIG thumbs up from me...
