Yesterday I took a brief trip down the M1 to Wolverhampton to pick up this little beauty:

The quality of the materials used is outstanding and I'm currently sitting in the seat every minute I get, its an amazing TV chair! I think it will be incredible once it have been fitted. The alacantra is a lot darker than I had expected, it's almost black, I thought it was going to be more grey, it's all good though.

Still looking for a drivers seat - if anyone see's one lying around, lemmie know!

I've managed to find another seat, so once I have my exams over me next week the interior should have a nice new look and possibly a toy or two from Mikey as well.....

Here are some shots I took after I washed the car today, unfortunately the seats are STILL not in. The classic excuse of time and money, unfortunately!
The only mods I've done are Ferg's tips about putting insulating tape on the hatch and seat latches - they have transformed the car on the bumpy Irish roads the car has been subject to over the 'summer'.

Overall, 5k miles later I am really happy with the car. Nothing has gone wrong and nothing is broken, other than the odd, intermittent rattle. The only annoyance is the lack of auto-up for the passengers window, can this be made work on the R56?
