Ring and ask them.

Let us know

Rasher

Didn't think Prodrive dealt with us mere mortals.
I just wanted to know if anyone has the package fitted in their car so I know what it consists of, plus how much it cost.
Has no one got a Prodrive interior??

Ajax

Were they rude to you when you phoned them……………

Perhaps we should send a group letter and ask them what there bloody game is, if that’s the case!

Quote for April 1999 Price List : ??????

what’s the use of a four year old price list, perhaps you could get a discount for a back order

The point is it was £3k in 1999 so don't expect it to be a cheap upgrade.

Just trying to be of help.......

if anything i think the upgrade would be more expensive as it was 4 years ago, im sure prodrives prices would have went up since then

Ajax

Is £3K expensive for all that?
Have you got a four year old brochure from somewhere else to compare it with?

So in four years the price has gone up or the spec has changed, this is very confusing

I am lost on all this time travel stuff, perhaps it’s a Prodrive upgrade

Got a price on that M8

I have a 1999 price list, but a 2000 Prodrive Brochure can be found here http://www.rb5286.pwp.blueyonder.co....t%20manual.htm

Ajax

If you phone Prodrive they might even have an up to date price
list!

Could even ask for back issues just to see if they have them.
I understand they are collectable

still available, speak to a dealer

Rasher

thanks mate much appreciated

Rasher,

I have the Prodrive interior package on my WR Sport (standard on this Prodrive factory car with the exterior package and Optional(?!) PPP)

The seats are absolutely superb. The moment you sit in them, you can tell how well engineered they are. Comfort? Brilliant. Adjustable in every way (electric height as stated here) they definately add to the driving experience. Slight downside is that they are quite bulky and do take a little away from the back seat footwell.
They do have 'Prodrive Recaro' embroidered on the back of the seat. Nice.


The fabric is well... fabric... nice bluey colour to match the seats throughout the cabin.

I have the Carbon gear ****, Cooool.

The prodrive mats are the best I have ever seen. 'Prodrive' embroidered on them, thick, chunky and have special little pins that secure them down.

Take a look at my car on the members gallery, where I have a picture of the seats. These are 98 variants which may be a little different to the one's being sold now.

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...=229813&Page=1

It really depends on whether you thinl £3k is good value. Mine came with the car (which was good value!!!). But as an extra fit, only you can judge whether it is worth the investment. It definately gives the car that something 'extra'. I like the fact that there aren't that many out there. Three that I know of..! And the seats are the business....

If you are ever up my way.. give me shout and I'll be happy to meet up and let you have closer look if you are still undecided.

Al.

Rasher

Cheers Al,
I did see your car on the members gallery that's what got me thinking.
One question do the seats/material wear well??
I might have to take the plunge if I can find anyone who like two front leather seats?
I really wanted a WR Sport from new but because funds didn't allow I have had to do it the hard way.
PPP, Prodrive suspension package and STI carbon fibre strut brace, quickshift, 18" Prodrive wheels and Alcon/Prodrive brake conversion

thanks again

Nige

Rasher

getting there now though

Alan C

Good luck!

As for fabric wear, the car is a 98 that's done 50K+ Miles. I've had it for a week and the fabric looks like new.

As my old Dad says, 'Son, you pay for what you get'.

And in this case he's dead right.

No doubt I will meet up with some other owners over the coming years, so I will keep my eye out for any seats etc...

ScoobySnack

Just as an aside

Full Leather interior retrims in your choosen colours can be had for between £1000 upwards.....

I beleive that Nito Sport did this as an option (£1500ish Not sure so guessing from memory). I sure this in Andy Tang's old car and it looked impressive.

Perhaps a chance to be indivdual with colured leather, stiching and logos?



J

Rasher

thanks J but Ive already got leather. That is part of the reason for the change. Going round corners enthusiastically causes my ar*e to slip and slide unless I grip the steering wheel alot tighter. The seats don't hold me in place as well as I would like
cheers

Rasher.

Let us know if you flogg the leather seats from your classic........
