I hate to say it as it sounds negative but I'm not sure about the beige interior-personally I'd never want that in my car. And whats with the silver trim, should that not be wood or something? It looks completely wrong

As for the manifold, try partsgateway.co.uk. I used them now and again and came up trumps every time

Its been fully waxoiled underneath, so its in great condition

I appreciate your thoughts on the interior, personally i think it looks more classy having a contrasting coloured interior, as opposed to the full black setup. I was lucky enough to find the exact colour combination i was after, so am more than happy with it. If they did a dark red leather OEM trim, that would have been a preferred choice

With regards to the silver inserts, i hate them. Judging by the flawless finish on them, i assumed they were a factory item but i would of personally liked the dark wood trim. Im still in 2 minds as to what to do with them, because they are in such great condition, i was thinking of having them dipped in a dark wood finish.
