 :fighting:  

Ive learned that the bonnet is one of two made by a chap who works at Koeniggseg.  This one and the other on Michels (MyGel on the forums) Crazy Big tubo, wide arched, 4x4 Mk2 Leon Cupra.  I dont think any more like this will be made but the tooling is still around.  Also the tooling / pattern for a carbon tailgate  :evilgrin:  :smiley:

Steering wheel is  :drool: :drool: :drool:

If you re-trim it are you going for the same style?

The alcantara feel on a steering wheel is amazing  :notworthy:

Wowee, love the steering wheel.  :love: You sure you gonna re-trim it? I quite llike it as is, half leather, half suede with the red leather 'steer stright' band.

Would you go for another style/design?

I would go for the same design if not all Alcantara still with red stitching / band at 12 o'clock
Just a better quality of finish so it's 100% oem+

Mmmm. all alcantara with a (fully) flocked dash. I see where you're taking things. Love the idea, you've got my approval.  :happy2:

Awaiting fitted pics.  :popcornsoda:

Now that is very very nice indeed!  :drool: - I love the red accents.

How is the Alcantera likely to wear from hand contact?

Will keep you posted on (Glove) to alcantara contact Robin  :wink:

It needs trimming as it doesnt match the flocking, not as dark  :sad1:

Thanks for the update Alex  :notworthy:

Have I got another bloody bulb out. One blew last week.  I need to put a normal reverse bulb in.

Yep.  Came straight on when I picked the car up.

The pic makes it look lighter than it is.
