Looks good, shame it's not facelift leather but still looks nice mate :y
-
Are there any issues fitting pre-facelift leather to post facelift cars - looms, airbags etc...?
Personally I think the seats look nicer on the pre's.
How much hassle was the rear blind?

With regards to the Leather i followed the wiring guide on the forum and it worked first time to be honest, i used the interior from a 98 model so it had the airbags in the seats.
The rear blind was a straight forward swop as the wiring for it is also present under the rear shelf.

Forgot to ask, Andy - how do you find the shape of the leather seats compared to the facelift velour?
-
Looking Good.

Terrific, black looks nice!
-

What's the reason for moving the washer bottle filler to the slam panel? Is there some benefit ? :o

Just so the bright yellow cap isn't visible through the grille!! ;) ;) ;)

Oh , Right. Hadn't even noticed that you can see the cap through the grill. It's gonna wave at me every bloody time I look now though!

Hey Andy, how easy was the rear blind to install? is the wiring all there, because there is a car in the local junk yard that has it but its a pre99 and I was thinking I can take the rear shade out of that and try to install in mine?
What parts did you need to do the conversion?
-
Looking good matey :y
-
Thanks for all the comments people..... yes it was a good weekend and quite enjoyable.
The rear blind was a straight swop to be honest as the wiring was allready there and it was just a case of getting a dash switch to activate the blind......
Just looking for some decent alloys now as these matched with the Lowering springs i have will finish it off....
I still have a Mint Rear blind and shelf in Black With Bose Speaker covers if anyone want's to do the same conversion on their car...........
-
I would love to get that blind from you but I am way too far away, and shipping will be outrageous...
:(

Yes all working including the rears

Great to see three mods I was hoping to do on my dad's car - someone beat me to it!!! haha! Still, nice to see someone has done all the hard work / made the mistakes first, thought very pleased to see there really don't seem to have been any problems in doing it!
Also prefer the look of the B seats over C, personally. The facelifts looks a bit 'plain' compared with the juicy fat armchair style of the B.
Well done, sir.

Oh, and if that bose shelf was shale/cream I'd bite your arm off!
