Problem with steering wheel bling is that the other carbon in the cabin is silver. Unless yours is black? Ideally want same weave pattern too. Although should never use carbon to add weight......just seems wrong :D

Looking forward to seeing the wheels and brakes.

You could have your wheels dipped so they look carbon.

@ComedianThe Carbon inside the car is much darker not like in an isF, the steering wheel item is £35.00 hardly a bank breaker so I thought I'd have look, I'm not a fan of that particular aspect of the wheel.

As regards the road wheels I'm keeping my originals as standard but I'm on the hunt for a second set, either a Carbon set or the latest 2018 ones.

Not really noticed that aspect of steering wheel. Maybe because I look over the top of it? :D

My carbon inside is silver. 35 is nothing as you say so worth a punt.

I know where you could get a set of the carbon wheels. I'll distract him with aeroplanes while you get your socket set ready.

@GibletPH I fully agree about the Carbon trinkets I have a couple of things in mind the exhaust is already done......

Ive seen one or two other subtle items there's this one for the steering wheel, it's just a clip over item, no idea of the quality but for the price maybe worth a punt.......

She's in for a major service in July and a wheel recut as well as the calipers being refinished in this Brembo yellow, I had my last 2 911's done this way and I personally really like it.......

Oi!!!!!

Nothing too exciting but I did get an issue addressed that's been bugging me since I bought my car. It must be a thing with light colored leather, there's a blue ISF at Lexus Coventry with a lot less miles that has similar wear. Also i finally got round to fitting the Apexi throttle controller which really perks up throttle response in normal mode when set to 'red', drives great, really impressed with it.

Good job with those seats, I have the cream leather and they look fantastic, but the wear is more obvious than the black leather. I assume that was a repair? 

[GibletPH]

Good work on the seat.

Side note - what’s the best place to buy the throttle controller from?

Going to sound daft, but I’m sure someone said you can use a steam iron and a tea towel to get the creases out

Looks great BTW. Love the lighter ISF seats

Steam cleaner and microfibre cloth yes, I think a steam iron might be a bit risky...

The seat was done by www.leatherrepaircompany.com, took the chap about 3 hours to do it.

I got the Apexi controller from eBay which was the cheapest place i could find it (ebay link), complete with ISF harness for ~£120 including shipping, doddle to fit with a very helpful guide by Peter P18 found here

Sun was out in Scotland today, well for last 2 weeks it's been sunny, think Scotland must have slid down the side of the earth closer to Spain lol

So washed the beast this morning, this is a washed pic. All day today I'm going to wet sand and polish it and post pics tonight as the sun goes down, hope I can cut and buff the paint back up yikes.

[Toothy]

Wet sand? 😮

Doubt you'd  need to do that. Could go wrong quickly. I'd stick with polish only. clay bar beforehand if you can to prep 😊

[GibletPH]

Wetsanding isn’t that difficult as long as you use a high grade disc and have a PTG to hand to keep an eye on clearcoat thickness.  

[Mark6pot]

Done some wet sanding to some fine scratches, filled in some stone chips with lacquer then sand flat, wet sanding with 2500 grit paper to do the job.

Not bad looking for a 10 year old car and 115670 miles.

[bobmc]

Looks like you've done a cracking job! 🙂

Wasn't brave enough to do enough sanding, but until I get the paint depth measured there will be no more lol

[Nick W858]

That looks beautiful

[Bluethunder]

Picked this up today 😀It's been a long day but loved the 4hr drive home! The ISF has gone to a good home and was sold privately last night.

[Mattmech]

Congrats, looks a cracking car.

enjoy.

Thanks Paul for your help & advice when I was “shopping”. Much appreciated. 

There was a silver demo there too and looked quite stealthy but I’m glad I ended up with the blue because the colour does look amazing in the flesh. 

Hopefully meet you and a few others at the Kemble meet:)
