My Candy R + MODS

Now then,
Had my car since March, delightful it is too. It's now time for a few bits to be 'improved'.
Just before I went on holiday I had my new seats installed, and the whole lot retrimmed:
Was a tough choice for the colour. I originally wanted red but was struggling to find the right shade for what I wanted. Nearing the deadline to choose I was thinking I would have to do black as I didn't want to get it wrong, but then, joy of joys, I found this which was exactly what I wanted. It's a really good leather, thick, nappa, really smooth.
Retrim was done by a place called D-Class over in Chopham. Can't fault it, quality is fantastic.
The seats themselves are Recaro Sportster CS's with Carbon Fibre backs. The only downsides are that the seats sit slightly higher than my ideal driving position, although i tend to sit as low as possible, so ill have to get used to that, but not a massive deal. The red really lifts the interior, so happy with the results and turns heads.
I had seat heating integrated aftermarket whilst the seats were retrimmed, the wiring couldn't be integrated into the existing controls, however i am really pleased with the end result of the controls, very subtle.
Unfortunately, the car is not with me currently and this is the only pic I have. When the car is back, I shall take some more photos.
There's a few other bits coming in the next few weeks, so will be updating this mini 'build thread' with the car's progress!
