Bjorn, pics are not real color, in real they are a little more brighter. The skai in the middle is the same red as on electrical wire. I like the leather piece on the left best in real color.

edit grof is coarse, I think so too Björn.

The car, did you forget Björn, it is going to be triumph powder blue. I kind of baby blue, and exactly the Gulf racing blue from the 70´s.

I like the structure of the left piece best and I think that the color is a very good match with a Triumph blue body.

The skai comes in many different quality, and this one is very good, also used in bars and cafe´s etc. Older cars always have skai, also 2cv. But I think this will be very sweaty or I have to make holes in it?

I think most people agree with you Sam, so do I.

I know Björn, but the distance for me to deleerlooier or belgium is the same. So I prefer Belgium, driving there is nicer. I don´t know what price they ask in Den Haag, In Belgium they ask 40 euro per square meter for the leather. If you know the price in Den Haag, please let me know.

Yep. That's one of many reasons why I hate skai. Hot and sticky in the summer, realy cold in the winter.
And I prefer the one on the left. It's gotta have some texture, but not that porklike thing on the right. Middle is just bland.

In stead of sanding and spraying I decided to do something else today. Finished my exhaust end piece

Got a little question regarding the wheels: Do you use the original wheels with 155 tyres fitted on it or did you get them enlarged? Is it legal to have 155 tyres fitted on the original? I'd like to do it on mine but then I'm scared of not getting the 'pink slip' because of that... Shocked

Wheels are widened 1 inch, so 155 fit perfect. But in the Netherlands fitting 155 on org rims is no problem, we don´t have pink slip or TUV, as long as tyres fit good and are not cracked or worn down it is no problem. But if we would have to go to RDW (goverment for road approval, when you fit new chassis) they will only allow up to 135 on original rims.

Anyway, if you live in France, every kind of modification is forbidden.
So if you use anything else than 135r15 or 125r15, it will be illegal...

But who cares? Laughing
