Having been the proud owner of the 16v for 4 and half years i feel its time to upgrade , i would prefer if i can not to sell my 16v as the investment keeping it in A1 condition over this time has added up into the thousands (im probably not alone here!). I have been lately looking at buying a...

Just picked up a set of F1 williams mats. They seem good quality and suit the 16v interior rather well. http://members.lycos.co.uk/aaronchap/willymat.jpg
