didn't mean paint the calipers NorthCape, just celebrating the fact the car is the most awesome colour.
Gotta be brave to go Lime Green IMO ;)

Red is a safe colour for calipers.
I did have gold calipers on my blue car. Looked ok, but red seems to work better.

Purple is cool. Purple interior is even cooler  8)

Cheers, I keep telling everyone to go look at her, not only are my friends sick of hearing me going on about trying to find one, now they are sick of hearing me go on about it...

One bugbear tho, for a car that has got documented lowest miles ive owned,
the leather is worn, should have kept me immaculate one out of one of the others lol

Typical female, never bloody happy ;)

Interior re-trim by the sound of things. Decent leather instead of the thin OEM stuff?

Re-trim with decent leather is not cheap.

You will suss I have my own car talk, norm round thing above square thing,
or thingy next to shiny thing

As for recover, damn shame thats what i do for a living, from fabric to leather,
though redoing seats will be interesting, prob cheaper just to get some from breakers that have one of my old Calibras ;)

You can still pick up clean standard interiors if your lucky i got a  full perfect black interior for ?50 not a mark on it anywhere so they can still be found.

Chap on VXoN was charging around £700 when I last enquired.

That's what I paid for my Lotus re-trim including door elbow pads, pockets, handbrake/gear lever gaitors & also part of the handbrake handle itself & repairing the base of the driving seat.
The Lotus was only 2 seats though but he was fussy about the quality of the leather.
