A couple of what may be silly questions but will ask anyway....

1) The Trophy Lights.... Do they have the matt black internal surround or did you do that yourself?
2) What wheels are they? I believe they are off a later version is that right?

Cheers.......

Finally took some pics today of the latest round of mods, so here they are:

For reference, the original centre console when I bought the car:


New carbon fibre console/vents and Mike Satur heater knobs. Also swapped clock and oil temp gauge. Note red LED festoons in footwell (LEDS also in map lights, clock and oil gauge):


Mike Satur pedals and chrome footrest:


Rear cockpit view showing Mike Satur roll hoops, wind deflector and lighter. Also MGB badge on passenger airbag blank and 'badged' driver's airbag:


Font view of hoops (whoops - forget to put alloy seatbelt escutchions back on :blush: ):


The leather part of the hoops were a bit 'tired' and I want to recolour all the interior trim black, so I dyed the hoop leather and the T-Bar using 'Brillo' leather/plastic/vinyl dye This stuff works great on the leather of the hoops, the vinyl T-Bar and the speaker rings, so I will be using it for all the rest of the interior as well.

Red/black steering wheel is on the way and I will recover the seats and doorcards as soon as I fix the slight leak on the driver's window ;)

That just leaves the brakes - waiting to get the new rears when available (already have AP fronts ready to install and a stainless steel exhaust and I'm ready for the summer :woohoo:
