I'm not a fan of white cars myself but that is a very tidy looking car sir.
Considering it's the same year and spec as mine I'm suitably ashamed and may even get the sponges out at the weekend

I've shoved the pics in here as they are well worth seeing:







I like that, good engine spec too, and like the steering wheel and other subtle mods. You've clearly spent a lot of time and effort on the car.

Nice job, though I'm not too keen on the blacked out badge and eyebrows at the front.

How about a can of silver spray on the radio surround to match the rest of the center console and make it blend in a little more?

Edit: I thought the pics were black and white at first glance, did you boost the contrast to purposefully get that effect?

[attachment=-1]20140625_163326_1.jpg[/attachment] the badge is gone I know not everyones taste but I do like that way, regarding cd facia I think black is ok for now as it would be difficult to match or just have to do it all.

Yes photos slightly tweaked (snapseed) as they dont look as good as in the flesh

Looks very smart - a tribute to all your hard work

Hope you have a great trip.
I did the Languedoc coast / SE Spain etc a coupe of years ago and had a great time.
Already planning next years' - maybe Côte d'Azur, or possibly the Adriatic.....
Wish we were going this year.

Looking good Steven ,
I'd go as far as to say those alloys look factory .
I wanted 17's but coundn't run to the tyre prices
So I ended up with a set of 16" starfish coupe wheels In nice condition ( from ade the coupe breaker ) & a set of Toyo Proxes CF2's in 205/55/16 for £240 inc fitting & balancing
I would love 435Nm of torque
