Wrapped the A B C pillars in alcantara. The material was authentic alcantara and was very easy to work with, as was the glue. Very stoked with the finished product. Next is the headliners, which is prepped. So far this is a 5/10 difficulty job. You gotta have the right tools, patience, and basic problem solving for corners and curves when wrapping. I’ve never wrapped anything before in my life!

Got my oil change kit from fcpeuro this week so a fresh 9ish L of Motul and Mahle filter went in. It’s more work repackaging the oil to send back than the actual maintenance. Gotta love a relaxing garage session.

Haven’t reassembled yet because I have to do the headliner. The material is thin so I don’t anticipate any issues.

Went back to original grilles after 10 years with black. Feels fresh although lost 20HP.
Migh take off some other black details next step. Car is becoming a classic. |

still don't understand why front PDC wasn't an option on this side of the pond. seems like such an odd thing to leave out if you're going to have a PDC option at all.

Wasn't aware, but yeah, why not have sensors in both end while at it. Even the fronts can be quite helpful at times.

Progress photo of headliner. The front console and dome light areas are a doozy, but so far so good.

Finished! A couple little wrinkles here and there that only I will notice but overall I give myself a solid B on the Headliner and an A+ on the pillars. I’ll put it all back in the car tomorrow.

Apparently the US front bumpers even have the markers labeled for where the sensors go on the inside. Idk why they couldn't have just drilled and installed them from factory. How much money did they really save? Just another reason for me to always reverse in though so that's fine 😂

Just have to install the front seats and then it’s done! I’m very happy with the result.

Loaded up all my new parts for my Indy to install, do inspections, etc.
Would do some of it myself but just had a knee scope and can’t bend the knee or kneel on it yet, and also short on wrenching time these days.

Center brake lines you mean? If so, I think so. I got the BW full six line kit.
