Default I Lost My Trademark Red.

Hey guys it was time to change my trademark red dash for something that goes with my wood grain and leather interior!

And mine isn't? My interior is the best part of my car. No rips, no stains, no wear and tear whatsoever. It looks nearly the same as the day it left the factory. I don't need any lessons on how to look after my interior. You've never been in my car, so how can you comment on that?

I told him that his interior looks better, simple as that. In fact it looks really good. I remember when he first did the red, someone replied with "Who killed Elmo?". That's why I referred to Elmo in my post. It was a bit of a joke. Shaun's car looks really good (besides his bonnet, but that should be fixed soon). I wasn't having a go at his car, because I like his car.

And just because my engine has a minor oil leak (will be fixed after the exams), it doesn't make it an untidy car. If you see how good condition the rest of the car is, you will see that it is looking really good for a nearly 17 year old car. The exterior shows that it's been looked after, and the interior shows it even more.

I reckon the EA-EB1 doorhandles look nicer than the light grey EBII-ED ones anyway, but that's just my opinion. They seem to match up with the dash and console nicely

The dash was done black to blend more with the door handles and to suit the rest of the new interior!
