Thanks for this Riaan.
When checking the prices online, I though they were ridiculously cheap.... I mean, I drive a Land Rover as well.....
The stuff I need for the yellow bug at Volkspares are some rubber boots and beading clips... small change..
I will post for the big things needed - hope to find some good replacement seats.... and a good upholster that can do some curved dash tricks I have in my head... Some thing like this (But Black on Yellow - inverted... this is a bit to bright)

I think the set of wide 5 BRMs is a must on that car. You can get a set of adapters from Golf pcd to wide five on this forum.

Mental note made, next time I need something shopped I know who to bug... I really should get the dam program and learn myself, would really help when it comes to respraying the race cars.
But your car is looking great, have you thought about EMPI 5's? in gunmetal grey?

When it comes to respraying race cars, nothing beats Need For Speed (PS3).
Thanks for the thoughts on the wheels. got till Friday to make a final decision.

I did the NFS route but the designs were not really what I was looking for. Finally managed to draw out what I wanted in MS Paint for My car.

Thanks for all the input.
I've settled for a bit of Old School with an attitute.
The Carpets just arrived fully edged, looks good.
Will post on progress.
