I should be getting the car back from the paint sometime in the next 3 years...grrr
Anyway, who are best for interiors? I am thinking of using the InteriorSeating seats :
http://www.interiorsseating.co.uk/world ... 91IVA.html
Should help me to achieve IVA as long as the seat mount mount is the right height (I've heard that there is a firm that can sort this using a bracket? - anyone have any details on this?).
What about dash trim and door panels and the rear seat area (which would be added post test).
thanks as ever

Paul,
have you thought of having the replica seats of the original bucket seats. If you compare prices, you could have these for the same money and will look much better, my opinion.
If you just need seats to pass the IVA you can use mine, or may even sell them?? subframes have all the work done. Just drill the holes in floor and bolt-up. l used them for my test so will pass. l bought some seat shells (same as above) and am waiting for them to come back from upholsterer.
Try and use an upholster thats familar with the speedster, defo a mine field out there to choose from.

Got mine from chesil but you can get them from Martin & Walker and Gary on here from Speedsterclinic. It's hard to say who does the best unless you line them up in front of to go over, my mate (nick) had some from chesil and he's happy with them so that was good for me.

Not sure the missus bought them as a pressy for me. Think they are around £100 a piece(shells only) though mine came with no runners but can sort that out.
