Nice day so why not....

Gave the girl a good clean and polish today, touched up some leather wear and made sure all my tyre pressures and engine levels all ok.

Very nice. It's screaming for a walnut gear knob and hand brake.

KevF6 · 26th February 2017, 20:56

Ha ha - I know! Been looking for months but alas they are like hens teeth. That and a mint walnut dash then I'll be happy

What a corker, royal blue with sandstone id a cracking combination and very British.

KevF6 · 27th February 2017, 10:03

Not in your league Tim (yours is stunning) thanks though - I've still got a few bits to do but nothing major

Wow! That is a gorgeous car, I love royal blue and I think sandstone leather is my favourite!

And I love the tasteful extra walnut, not bonkers over the top stuff on yours!

As long as its loved that's all that matters, I am fortunate to have a garage at my disposal with a body shop, valet bay and workshop, which helps no end.

Royal blue with sandstone is great!

Thanks Oro!

The colours do go well together, but I was also considering changing the interior to the grey, even the carpet. But I keep changing my mind lol.

Yes not too much walnut, like you say just enough. I ordered the rear ashtray walnut piece yesterday to to give the rear a touch, along with the window switches. It's always tempting to buy more but I think too much spoils it.

Looking nice! Clean car in the sun looks the best

just ordered myself a clay bar, da polisher, compounds and waxes ready for my zt's first big clean ready for the warmer weather and hopefully a couple of club meets
