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

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!

[GREG]

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

Looks very tacky in a Ford Mondeo, but who wouldn't?

Looks aside, is there any reason why wire wheels aren't suitable from a technical perspective? I can't recall having ever seen them on a Bristol

I stand corrected. One less thing to feel guilty about I suppose.

Is West of England cloth hard to get a hold of?

The only thing I can think of is whether wire wheels could cope with high torque but the wire wheels I posted on the other thread are designed to cope with XJS Jag grunt ! Will you try them for me please :-)
