No fed back?

Looks amazing mate everything just works so well keep up the good work :-)

I love this mate, some proper effort put in and the brilliant results show. Very well done!

Love this!! Never thought they alloys would look good on a 6n2 but they look sick as fuck on this.

that colour works so well with the car, you'd almost think it was a colour option

did the steam clean do a lot for the steering wheel? as mines looking abit tired at the moment

Thanks buddy, yer thats the look i was going for, didnt want it to look custom, nice oem+ look, same with the wheels etc, the steam cleaning has work wonders amazing only thing is its brought out just how bad the steering wheels condition is so now on the hunt for a new one :( before we steamed it the red stitching was only just noticeable.

Thanks for the comments people, got more lined up just a matter of time and money :(
