Stunning mate, always liked this colour and that rear diffuser and spoiler look spot on :Thumbs-up

What make of wheels are they?  

You should consider keeping the Bride seats, they seem to work very well with the colour and they are one of the best you can buy!  What plans do you have for the interior?

I would love to keep the seats!  But unfortunately they dont accomodate my frame makes the car uncomfy so basically i am replacing them with recling black leather.  The red does look good but once the windows are tinted you wont see any way.

Heres the link to ebay.

Very nice.

with regards to ebay you can cancel the bid, and then cancel the auction just give some BS excuse like they\'re no longer available due to being damaged when you removed them from the vehicle.

Wont cause you any probs.

theres no reserve.  Just needing a enough to cover the price of the new seats.  Have decided on black leather recliners should make the car alot more comfortable to drive.  Took it out today to the mot station passed!  Woo Hoo DVLA reckon 2-3 weeks to register it!  Great!

What? I was trying to help out the MRC member who was interested in purchasing them straight off the guy. It wasn\'t mentioned that the bid was already by another member.

Did you get the seats in the end?

Post by: DFLROWLAND on June 02, 2006, 02:08:01 AM
i\'m gonna go against the flow here and say that i prefer your old silver FD. new one is wild but i prefer the more subtle/classy approach of your old ride.
Title: Finally Arrived!
Post by: checkpoint-direct.co.uk on June 02, 2006, 09:51:11 AM
Ive had mixed feelings between the old one and the new one.  I suppose its personal choice.  After i saw Gerry Ms wide rx7 beside the silver one i knew the silver one was nice but the wideness cant be beaten.  I still have to wave the magic wand a little with the wheels i think?  
They are Works Equip alloys 10x18 front and rear and i do like them but whether i replace them or get the refurbed.  I dont know.

If the money is right i would sell.  Bare in mind they are 10x18 all round and reckon would only fit a wide arched beast!
