Bright purple.

Or just black I'm getting rid of all my purple sh*t

But black is just so passé.

Yea wife thinks I should stick to silver and black

I'm contemplating doing a hydrographic dip in a blue/grey carbon fibre look. Think that'll match nicely with the blue on the outside. Maybe you can do something like that? Black/Dark Purple? Only do it to a few pieces as well, so maybe centre console, few of the door panels etc.

That sounds interesting post some pics when you get it done mate.

I reckon I'm just going to end up copying Dwayne (except I may leave some other bits he did like some of the aircon vents/ash tray), only just a slight colour change tbh. He already got his done... pics are here. He's done so much to his FTO, reckon it's by far one of the best looking ones in Australia haha.

Looks pretty sweet, I'd like to get a different steering wheel later on

Momo's are a hundred bucks for a good conditioned one.

Edit: Personally I like the FTO steering wheel, the horn is just too brittle ... so idk steering wheel is on my lower priority atm. Maybe would make a nice christmas gift.

Yea my horn doesn't work that good you have to like punch it to get any sound out

Replace the broken horn plate with a milo tin lid. (seriously)

Those are old pics. Now have the blue inserts as well:

Are they the blue inserts you see on eBay or did you do them your self

Custom upholstered. Those and the CF coating really picks up the interior.

Have you ever tested the fabric paint rattle cans ?

Proseats also mentioned something about door inserts I believe, so you may be able to get in contact with them to have them send you something quality for the FTO. They also do leatherette seat trims for the FTO custom. For the entire package, front/back seats + door inserts he quoted $600. A majority of the FTO seat covers you will see that are leatherette will be from pro seats.

$600 that's not to bad , just need work to pick up abit as winter is always slow then I might get some

Love it lmao

Painted my engine cover it's a dark purple but doesn't look like it in the photo

Looks nice bro, I reckon when I get to painting my engine cover I'll just do the letters in blue and leave the black. I'm going for a black/blue theme ahahaha x]
