Some of you might have already noticed I was searching for a set of tan floor mats.
I always loved the tan interior but unlike the USA the tan interior is quite rare in Europe.

Reason why I was searching is that I found a new carpet for sale with new window switches and clips + used doorpanels and center console cover.
No seats though as they're hard to find in good condition. I did manage to find a new set of EU tan floor mats:



Gave the tan center console cover a much-needed cleaning, you can clearly see the difference with just the top rear section done:

Carpet is in, also installed my new shift boot and I'm waiting for the armrest cover to come in as well so I can put everything together again:



Since I no longer have the Bride seats, I ordered a set of Clazzio covers with beige centers for now:

Thanks Kyle! Cusco parts are back from the powdercoater, decided to do the lower bars as well as they tend to rust over time.
For the roll bar I wanted something to match the interior color wise but not just plain black, powdercoater had a new anthracite wrinkle paint with metallic flake so decided to give it a try:

Interior is done for now until I have the funds for another set of Bride seats (or oem tan seats if a set pops up for sale):





Waiting for the front bumper to come back from the paint shop now:

Got the bumper back from the painter and attended Euromeet in Italy last week.
Unfortunately the bumper has a significant difference in color, I'm guessing a wrong base coat was used. It's actually very close to Imola Orange Pearl, but nowhere near New Imola Orange Pearl...
I hope we can work something out with the painter.

I always thought Lightning McQueen was model'd after the Honda S2000... Please forgive me... But...

the colour difference on the bumper is not uncommon, I've seen it before on a local owner's car over here. That colour is reported to be extremely difficult to match from what I've heard. Definitely worth talking to the painter though.

The car looks amazing , it is all set up for a Mugen intake now, that would work great with that bumper. Happy motoring.
