Project Silk Violet GSi

[Vlietje]

Small update, had a meeting at our German HQ today. Der Post delivered around 10 packages over there, much better then having to pay intl shipping from Germany to the Netherlands.

F*cked up because the left headlamp seems to be damaged, so ordered a new one from OCP (wish I did this originally...).
Will post some new parts piccies tomorrow.

For now I've fitted the new mats front and rear. Mucho better me thinks!

Cheers! Mats are really good, best thing about them is the fact that you can configure them yourself: fabric quality, colour, trim colour, heel piece, etc... http://www.automatten.nl/automatten/...8,502,335.html

Mmmm lovely updates and great finds. I remember you telling me you spend about one hour a day on the Bay. More like you spend one hour each day NOT on the Bay by the looks of it!

Yep - except I was a little preoccupied with this...

and this... (my girlfriend would love one of these - with a massive V8!)


so I forgot to take some pics of the white Nova on display.

Sorry!
