Silvers good with me Steve for the 11 but Blue for the 5 alpine now that’s the colour for that . The Megane looks tidy in the yellow . Cracking bit of video .
Regular visitors to this thread... I'd like your thoughts & feedback..
This is what the original R11 Turbo seat cloth looks like:

I've been looking at options to replace this lot, and thru a trimmer, was directed to THIS WEBSITE. (Warning! Many hours can be spent looking to see if your old car upholstery is on there!!)
Anyway, following a good look through the website, the best options I can see are:
OPTION 1)

OPTION 2)

OPTION 3)

Or I'm thinking a little bit "different" but still OE (of sorts) could be the original interior from the Sucessor to the R11 Turbo, the R19 16V Phase 1..?
OPTION 4)

Can you please give me some feedback with your recommendation 1 - 4?
Thanks for reading![]()
Closest to OE, Option 2.
The R9/11 passenger "Sex seat" is one of the best car seats ever made. Fond memories.
Massive milestone and bet you had a cold beer staring in the garage that night didn't you![]()
All that fresh paint . Bet your glad to see it back. Last time I had shell painted I stood and looked at for an hour before I plucked up the courage to actually lay a spanner on it but once I got going I couldn’t stop and went home for breakfast the next morning.
Looks beaut, really pleased for you.
Re interior.....OE all the way, 19 16V cloth belongs in a 19.
If it was a cheapo seat swop just cos you had them, fair enough, but you're punching for such high standards, I think it deserves sexy OE velour.
I'm not a rivet counter, all for upgrades, EFi etc crack on.
Close shaves just keeps you on your toes . I towed my 11 back from the body shop on a straight bar . In stationary traffic in the town we had a bloke( who didn’t see the bar ) try to nip through , he tripped face planted and all I was worried about was my paint work . Your shots of the 11 in the garage take me back . Mended mine in 91 struggled with a 3 door rear bumper back then and the side trims I went with grey ones with the chrome inserts rather then paint and orange/red . I have my old man hunting for a photo as we speak .I was wheeling it back into the garage talking to the guy who delivered it for me and it very nearly scratched itself on the garage door post!!!Thankfully I stopped it with about 3mm to go!!
I've couldn't resist to just nip out there for 10 minutes and mop up some of the water inside the car with some blue roll. The paintwork on the outside looks bloody amazing! Can't see any Orange Peel! Just pure polished perfection!!![]()
