kongsodoken, your interior is outstanding! Can you tell me where you got the covers? And was fitting straightforward?
Cheers.

Thanks

the covers are from Paul Champagne in the USA....google Paul Champagne 928 interiors.....
I had my seats converted to the 928 style, but he does do 944 ones.....

fitting is a challenge but very satisfying takes about 8 hours to strip and install one seat

Outstanding job and choice of parts! Love the idea of Pasha in a later model 944 and the 928 style ribbed seats look great in there!

Really cool... how do they polish them to such a sharp line where the paint stops.. amazing!

Got the wheels fitted

Well happy with the look and the ride quality...did tramline a bit but once the suspension was adjusted/replaced it was fine

Bloody hell. You should organise some studio shots for that. Looks amazing! (still think cup mirrors would finish it off!)

also, like my s2 would benefit from lowering slightly?

Emmmm black!!!!! Dibble dibble

needs lowering, my turbo is lower on m030 then what I had my S set up on gaz. About a finger thickness between arch and tire is about perfect I think.

yes lowering is on the wish list, but I need to spend a few ££££ on the suspension .... Its going for paint correction on August 1st so should come out shiney I'll post some pictures then

not sure about about the mirrors I quite like the flags

Paint correction, why?? It looks like glass smooth already!!

Ona black car the flags don't look do bad, think its the thick black band that spoils them. Any ideas on what brand/type ur going for?

Comfort or track? I think progressive springs would suit best. Stiffen the body roll up with the roll bars.

I've got scratches and minor blemishes,

the detailer guy recons 3 days to get it perfect then it's being sealed etc......

the detailing cost is OK ....It's the hermetically sealed, guarded truck to bring it home that costs

I like the reviews of KW V3

.....but I like the look and price of the ground control units
