Re: Closed "Water Ingress", and new leather...

Hi Lou,

I had the leather on the dash of my car having seen yours. Apparently the current leathers are treated so they don't shrink in sunlight which is why they used to use leatherette before this innovation. Although it isn't a cheap option it does finish the interior. If only I could conceal the door trim!

Paul,

I have just taken a look at the door trim. What do you mean, it looks like 412 door trim ?

Hi Greg, it is the same on all cars. I would like a solution that concealed them completely, as you get with a RR/B for example

Why didn't you ask them ? The window switches could have gone where the cig lighters are and push button solenoids for the door openers !

I like them as they are but prefer the chrome door openers from the MG store.

Hi Greg, I think we are at cross purposes here. O am perfectly happy with the door handles/pulls an the placement of the switches and ashtray is perfect. It is the rubber door trims that go around the door and window apertures I would like to make less of a feature

Greg,
.
Having seen that car once, it should not be allowed out in daylight.
Is that the one you thought wire wheels would look good on?
.
It could not make it any worse!

Ah , thought it was a strange request ! No suggestions for that.
