D-mag Posted 7January, 2017 Report Share Posted 7January, 2017 Hi Phil, thanks mate. I have had a look at that one but as much as I tried to talk myself into it, I don't think I could live with the Red interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Phil Posted 8January, 2017 Report Share Posted 8January, 2017 Hi Phil, thanks mate. I have had a look at that one but as much as I tried to talk myself into it, I don't think I could live with the Red interior.Hi D Mag, yes I agree. The red looks just too much redness in the photos. Maybe in the flesh it looks better. I have a full red interior in my other car and it looks great. It's the dash in red that spoils the Spider though. My Merc just has red seats and door inserts with just stitching on the dash. Much more subtle than the full on red in your face look.Good luck with the search. Will be keen to see the 981 Spider at one of the PFA days when you find the right one D-mag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 12January, 2017 Report Share Posted 12January, 2017 Welcome Denis, enjoy the forum and hopefully see you on an SMT or a coffee catch up.Good looking car...Also good idea cleaning out those radiators. Big fault with P cars (IMHO) in that department letting so much crap get into them.I'd suggest putting in some mesh guards at your earliest.

There are several DIY threads about moving the HVAC controls to the lower console, all thats needed is the correct surround. The cables are designed to reach the lower section as thats where they would be if you had the PCM1 or PCM2 unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
