Gazza,

The car looks fantastic and you are making me feel very very guilty for not getting mine done but thats for another year.

I think I would be paranoid about going on a fast road run in case i get a stone chip :cry:

Thanks for the comments Guys, I promised myself a few years ago that I would get the car back to its former glory :D

More pics when the roof and valet has been down.

I would like it done, there are two types, one is thicker and less pliable.

Stupid me forgot to get the hard top painted so I took it in on Thursday, picked it up this morning :D

If I get a chance tomorrow I'll fit the new wheels and take some pics.

I've heard lots of good stuff about Lepsoms so I presume the wheels are literally as new now?

They are expensive though :colourful:

I've always payed less than £200/set but did get my fingers burned on the last job, shame after having 4/5 sets done over the last 7/8 years all at the same place - not sure I'd go back again now I've moved away from Manchester.

I did mine 2 weeks ago myself, easy to-do once they're out the car - I used scuffmaster and colour is spot-on but you can still see the wrinkles.

Funnily enough I got a quote to replace the leather of £60-80 up the road in Middlesborough, not that bad at all :shock: alas, have too much else to buy ATM.
