In regards to the above event, pics or gtfo
Here you go...

The nice amount of paint my alloy left on the kerb, this happened on Monday 7th November, and the picture was taken just now on Friday 11th....

Then the damage caused - if you can spot it - my dad seems to be some kind of wheel repair/refurbish specialist without telling me!

Just zoomed so you can see he shouldn't quite open a trade just yet though....

So that's the story of the week for this week, not a clue what'll happen next, hopefully nothing involving my mum's driving skills...

Its looking really nice now mate, interior looks spot on now mate, i'd be a bit cautious of leaving the dials open without the cover though.

Shame about the kerbed alloy, although it really looks barely noticable in the first pic

I know of a good powedercoaters near us also who will do them £1 per inch per wheel, so could just get the one done if it really bothers you.

Insurance in a month so progress is on hold!
Then January plans run like
Piper exhaust system....
Then we shall see........

Literally updated this as you wrote that!
Cheers, really happy with the interior, just want to sort the doorcards then it's done!
Don't worry, I've done it before

and just prefer the look without them, personal preference

I know, pretty happy my dad sorted it for me, but rather it didn't happen!
To be fully happy I'd just want it filling and smoothing but if someone else agrees it's not too recognisable/noticeable then im happy b

Not sure whether to try retrim my current ones in leather or source some others. Not the biggest fan of the desire/106 ones
Yeah I just keep my hands away from the dials and it all seems fine

It's on my list of things to do, but as said, it's not toooooo noticeable so I'll let it slide for now
