Not sure about the seats however i think it's pretty unlikely the interior trim is original especially as they managed to paint the pedals as well as the boot release button, bonnet release etc

Default Interior?

I would like to suggest that does not stand up well to close inspection, IMHO, terribly tacky, perhaps it had an interior fire?

A personalisation thing by the looks of it.. definitely not OEM.


Not to my liking.. But, each to their own..



Cheers,

Somebody's obviously put in a lot of work on this, but all that plastic chrome and additional fake wood - not to mention the 'colour keyed' plastic mouldings and pedals - just don't do it for me. Just serves to underline how 'right' these cars looked when they emerged new from the factory before the 'modders' got hold of them. But then taste is a very personal thing....

Not very nice at all, if you were after a 1.8 at that sort of money, which would you prefer the one in the OP post or this one below

I have to agree, looks like a rattlecan job in most places. Pedals JEEZ!

Seat belts etc etc

The seats look too good to be something someone has knocked up on their sewing machine at home - got air bag labels for example, otherwise it does look like someone has been let loose with a spray gun in the interior and painted everything.

How long before all the paint started flaking off everything?

Perhaps if it was done with proper colours it might not look quite such a bodge job.
