Bilstein B8's now installed and makes a huge difference to the handling. It now feels like it should and returns a lot of confidence back into driving this car.

I have also installed a 1M copy alcantara interior trim (white stitching)complete inc instrument hood, handbrake and gear gaiters, front and rear door trims. This was purchased from a member who decided not to proceed with his project. Instal was fairly straight forward using a combination of 1 Addicts and various DIY videos.

Almost happy to say the car is complete with the exception of a set of Recaro CS Sportsters. I trust at some point I will find an affordable set - have toyed with converting a Renault set but not convinced it will save me much in the end.
