Check my thread out. I've got the 172 alloys in anthracite and I've got the 172 alcantara interior (seats and door cards) fitted.

Give you an idea :)

Very nice car :) Love the anthracite alloys and sport interior. That's the next thing I think, then lower it

Purchased the alcantara 172 door cards today, front and rear :)

Hopefully they will arrive Friday or weekend so I can get them fitted. Pictures to follow

Lovely car :approve: Did you get the sport side skirts, wings, bumper and arch liners?

Yeah it had the full kit! No front arch liners though as it scraped with them on.

needed 25mm spacers on the front with the sport wings being wider.

Very nice. Got the Sport Rear bumper to go on. Got the Sport Archliners for that as well

Door cards have been fitted and look good :approve:

Got sport rear bench seat on the way as well so can fit that when it arrives.

Any further suggestions?

Got some 182 Alloys and have started the process of Refurbing in Anthracite. The colour is close to the original.

Looks a decent match!

Regarding the alcantara, what size did you purchase for the roof lining? I cba going measuring :rasp:

Cheers mate. I ordered the 10cm x 10cm sample first to make sure it was the right colour and texture then ordered the 250cm x 145cm. The extra length should give the ability to match contours of the headliner and ensure plenty to fold over the edges and secure it in place.

Good stuff. Is it a similar colour to the seats, or slightly darker? Or different altogether?

The colour match isn't too bad to be honest but as it's going on the roof and not close to the door cards or the seats then a slight variation won't really look out of place. Best thing would be to order a sample piece as that way you aren't taking my word that it's ok and each persons observation of the colour is different :)
 
Cheers for the help Mike. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, looking forward to seeing it coming along.

No problem :) Get the rest of the 182's refurbed and on the car then sort out the spraying of the body panels. Then all the detailing from there.
