Ive been looking around for some amber coloured ones but came up with nawt. Ive managed to find a carpet place near by and they offer a "beading" service. Basically if you've bought a carpet they can turn your off-cuts into runners or mats etc by sewing either a ribbon bead or a threaded bead around its perimeter for about £6 / running 1m. So thats what Ill be doing. Remnant cut offs in the colour that I can find and like and bead to any colour. Youve just gotto cut the mats to suite ya car first.

just to add, the tablet at the moment is on the outside. It will eventually be positioned from behind to make a more permanant feature. These pics are crap. How can I reduce the size??

Here are the latest pics of the centre console. The gear stick gaitor is crap and I had made it too tight lol When in either 6TH or reverse it would pull the whole surround away. Gonna dig out my OEM one and get the old gal to replicate it with the same material. So whats your thought on the colour guys?? Any feed back would be great. you may have noticed that I did not use the brushed copper wrap on the pods. Im suspitions were correct. You cannot apply it in 2 directions, even after heating. My new head unit went in too and adjusted the display to match the console, (there are 150,00 to choose from apparently ?) Its a 120 quid jobby from Halfords. Sony. And has everything on it like USB, aux, RCA outs, SUB Out, bluetooth phone, bluetooth audio, remote control and since I have a Sony Z3 phone, the links are seamless and also there are apps available to download onto your phone that gives a graphical display to alter all the HU parameters. Highly reccomended

not sure. The belt had split length ways and wrapped itself around the pulley whilst the other other have as still operational. I drove home the 2 miles ok with now warning lights. Shes up on ramps now with the engine skid off ready for tonight. Managed to get the 2 GATES belts for 23 quid. Bargain.

Whey Hey. Another Roadster. Warm welcome to ya.

so about 600 quid in all?? eeek. Is it worth it?

is that R2D2?? pmsl

ALL SORTED. One rough as hell alternator belt. shredded to bits but enough on to get me home.

tbh I didnt look. I was far to busy looking for a place to pull in. I'll see what happens later after work for my return jeourney.

Hope you can help me. The car this morning went into limp mode after approx 4 miles. Drove about 500m then kicked back in. My belts have been slipping the last couple of weeks and was due to change them this month after payday. When they slip, the noise would dissapear after a shortwhile, then after standing still, parked up, the same thing would happen again. But this morning she squeeked all the into work. Could this be the issue of the car going into limp mode?? If the belt is slipping on the alternator then no charge is being produced to the battery. Does the car sense this and drop into limp?? Ill be getting some gates from one of the dealers on here this week. thanks

WELL DONE. I will look out for it. When does March come out??

What about plasti dip.? You gat get gloss additives now. Peel off when ya bored.

"BOSE" on the cassette unit is backwards also. Lets see how many we get lol

I am going to do mine in due course and will do a thread with pics and videos. If someone can post here the links for the LED's, the clear reflector instead of the orange one and also can advise me how to get an angel ring behind the spherical lense (if at all possible). If not, maybe an RGB led behind and angels outside up against the zenons. I may as well be the 1st to give it a bash and document it for others to try.

FA7 AR5 Would be more like the zeds. :-) Welcome to a world of spending all things Z. (And you WILL lol) Nice Car.

I've just read all this. God these people are fu#43d up alright. There only one way to treat scum like that. Baseball bats and knuckle dusters.

Sorry. This part. [/url

Hi Kyle. Yes. I was shocked too. They were an option but surly with leather so I'm miffed but pleased at the same time. So today I've just taken off the top half of the central console. Easy enough. Two screws at the bottom and a firm pull, unclip the single loom for the three pods and hey ho. Next to come off we're the pods. Again two screws and all comes off leaving the scalloped moulding pods in place. So you end up with this .... Ok so here's the odd part....each pod moulding is loose and held on with two screws each at the front BUT...the other end has been kind of spot welded, plastic welded in one place. Because I wanted to remove them completely to wrap the upper and lower faces of the moulds I had to snap off the welds. Just pull each one in turn and twist and the plastic weld snaps. These can be welded back with a hot knife blade or bonded. Here's one snapped off. [/url Make sure to number match although they will only go back one way anyway Before I paint this I'm going to make my frame for the 7" tablet. It's just gonna be some MDF sheet with a square hole and the tablet stuck from behind. Just like a picture frame and covered in the same suade as the rear speakers. Then hard wired in for the power and a switch bypass if it switches itself off. So constantly on with ignition and will stay on without ignition on because of the battery charge within the tablet. Unless someone knows a better way. This is the wrap. Stunning brushed copper. The only problem I think is that it's foil and not vinyl and so cannot be applied in three axis, ie will not bend around a compound bend. Good for flat surfaces with a bend in one direction only. We,ll see how it behaves. A better pic showing the brushed grain. And the part that's going to be wrapped... That's all for now. Painting next and re assembly. So far it's a piece of cake which anyone can take on.

Ok. So some interior pics now showing the speaker builds in place. URL=http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/nigelrees123/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-02/DSC_0549_zps7wv0vckc.jpg.html][/url] I have clear Perspex which will go in place of the smaller cubby hole doors with some kinda logo or something on there with a light inside reflecting through ala Amy's baby blue z. Sorry Amy for pinching that idea. The gear surround is just snapped into place to guage the bronze colour in the day light and the new razo neo chrome er...knob. I think I like it, and feel its gonna look quite classy so may have to go for brown or reddy tan leather seats perhapse? I don't know?

There's a pet thread?? Now why I'm not surprised. Thanks GM that's **** on link I need to progress.

ozzy's still a pup. just turned one !!

best dog Ive ever owned and Ive had a few. Harmless big softy, loves kids and is soooooo laid back its unbeleivable.

ye its loctite fabric spray. the edge speakers are the top of the range from vibe (the big rectangular ones and rock) The smaller edge ones are the smallest in the range and are an exact fit. There is only high and mids coming out of there as they are fed together with the fronts. So most is comming out of the big vibes with lesser volume from the tops and doors. I rate them for the price from experience and will hold steady too with a suitable matching amp if needed. and yes thats OZZY by DDB. All 15st of him. Loves it in the summer with shades on and top down drooling everywhere. lol and not forgetting the latest edition to my family... "IGGI" THE 3 MONTH OLD IGUANA. He too will be 4 to 5 ft long. eeek !!!!

pics look very grainy and dont do it justice !! seem fine on my phone.
