Not the only one Nobby, after spending £2k in the last 2 months on my Coupe I dont think I'll be having one any time soon either. Cappo, that's amazing

I'm bumping this cos I'd like to know how the the interior's been replaced/ up-dated etc. I'm having mine done now and it's hopefully gonna look lush.
Trying to get the interior as good as the exterior is not easy - or cheap!

Hedge, the interior has all been out, and then replaced. Apparently there was about 3 days worth of cleaning went on from Carl & John, and a few things like replacement centre console, but it was really "just" down to hard work - no secrets really! It's got some standard mats in at the mo but they need replacing with some new/old stock proper ones really, as & when some come up. No mention of the Silver LE, Benje, but AFAIK every last Coupe associated with the business, i.e. all those apart from Carl's personal family ones, are gone now

You replaced the jizzbags? With new ones, presumably?
Wow. Impressive, good work.

Not replaced, Hedge, they were removed and deep-cleaned.
Was going to try and get some pictures in the sun but it wasn;t good weather at the weekend. Maybe tomorrow.
I'm going to try and get to the meet on Sunday but can't be certain yet, but hopefully it'll be there for everyone to pick holes in!!

Why didn't (don't) you get the seats re-leathered/ re-foamed etc by a specialist? Newly padded seats with new leather over them.....CarlT/ jizzbag nirvana

Well, the seats are in fair nick and as things stand I'm not really going for the concours approach, just a very nice, very tidy Coupe which I can look after, without going completely OTT on the money spent on it.

I'll chuck my pics up of mine when they're done then (assuming the job done is a good one). Not prohibitively expensive - certainly when compared to the money spent (albeit courtesy of insurance) on yours. Cheers, Hedge

Your not implying it was expensive are you??? Of course you will do yours cheaper. Yours isnt crashed is it Do you think the insurer paid out to cover a retrim while were at it? I think you seem to forget what was done if you possibly even think it was expensive. Start with the damage, everything from turbo forward, replaced, new or powedercoated. Heatshield, water pipes, rad, aircon rad, slam panel, x-memeber, bumper bars, PAS tank, bumper foams, bonnet, 2x lights, 2x fogs, grille, Plus Bumper, Bonnet, Struts, aircon pipes, bumper hangers, rad fans, neumerous fixtures and fittings. Loading and offloading onto jig including a FULL measure. Removal of ALL the trim bar dash, carpet and headlining. Removal and refit of ALL glass, inc new seals where needed. Full prep of entire car with no less than 50 NON ACCIDENT defects. New door Replacement skirt All four wheels refurb properly, (not spray painted while fitted) Engine bay painted out as far as possible with engine fitted. Full car prepped and primered not one but twice EVERYWHERE, not just the marks, the entire panels. Painted with proper paint, over £450 in paint alone. All put back together, all back to standard. MOT done etc etc Running faults sorted. Collected and delivered, 800+ miles? Do you think either us or the insurer would cover a re-trim hedge? I think you forget its cost Mark, the owner £0. The insurer would have been quoted over £8k to repair just the front and repaint just the bonnet and bumper. All done in 2 weeks. Its had considerably more for half the cost. Saving the car from being hacked and making it one of if not the best around. That will look like that for years to come, not start flaking around windows when the frost hits it before long like most. Yes its had money spent on it, looks alot when people get a repaint for £1800 (glass still in, half the car prepped, only the repairs primered and just straight colour paint at £12 a litre with no laquer to cut the cost????). Think people forget it was wacked on the front and it has to be repaired properly for the insurance

Carl,
No idea why you think I'm implying it's cheap/ expensive or otherwise? All I said was that, next to the amount of money/ love/ care that's been thrown at it, why not get the interior re-done to a similar level? Nothing more.
Anyway...

I'm jealous in every sense.
Car looks stunning and as we all know Carl's work is impeccable.
Only problem i would have with owning such a stunner is that i wouldn't want to get her dirty, and would never be able to go shopping leaving her in the car park again!
Coupe now sold!

Yes to both of those Rus!
It actually showered on Sunday when I took it out and I was close to going home again!
As for parking it up - complete nightmare. Many people on here will know how paranoid I am over this on an ordinary day. I am trying to get to the meet on Sunday but due to other plans it will be a bit of a hassle to do - in any other car, I would leave it parked up where we're going beforehand but I daren't do so with this.

Needs to be seen in person though to appreciate. (parked next to a few others to really make it stand out helps )
