Hi seriph
Hope you like the picture of the red interior in the grey car. I will post some pictures of my interior when it's finished I am trying to work out how to fit my MGB seats onto the runners of the Z3 which will then give me electric seats up and down and backwards and forwards and also they recline which means I might put a storage Locker behind the seats. Hope to post some more pictures Sunday or Monday evening of the back of the car take care John James

I intend to fit some MGB seats to my Tribute. This is just the seat placed on top of the existing Z3 seat base.
There is somebody doing a nice pair of leather seat covers on Ebay for £275, they are the humped style which take the MG look away.
I intend to fit without the headresrs.

I think it will be the DNA replica Ferrari boot handle.

Surely it's from an existing vehicle. I say this because if DNA is able to reproduce items to this degree, it's a bloody heartbreak that ppl can no longer buy these kits. :(

Far as I know it's a DNA item that's made with a 3D printer I was lucky when I bought my kit I bought a lot of external pieces at the same time I'm glad I did now that they're not being made anymore

Here's hoping that when I get my act together I can buy one. It means traveling to the U.K. to do so, but I'm willing to do that. This vehicle has eluded me for 30 bloody years and I really thought I had found the holy grail this time.

Hi guys have any of you who have got a 250 could help me out and post some pictures of the 250 Dash as I'm having a bit of trouble trying to work out where everything goes.

Also have any of you fitted sill plates to the bottom of the doors would appreciate any pictures and also what size did you make the plates. Looking forward to your replies and pictures
