GTA with wood

Postby 2P5T » Tue Apr 14, 2009 8:12 am

I've never seen anything quite like it!

Presumably Renault had nothing whatsoever to do with this? :shock:

Would the red leather be a factory option? I've only seen black and beige in a GTA but I know their was a vivid blue leather used on the seats of some A610s.

The Compomotive split-rims are a change from the norm too and I haven't seen rubbing strips up the side of an Alp before either. :o

All aftermarket.

Mr Atkins is doing something similar with his, including a wooden moto-lita steering wheel.

"All aftermarket"

I figured as much but the leather looked like a possible Renault idea. I wouldn't rush towards walnut veneer in an Alpine myself. :? Luxury spec. could get addictive and you might end up wanting some bespoke chrome exterior trim. :lol:

Hmmm, don't like that at all. Looks like it's trying to be a rover 75.

The seat re-trim looks like a decent job but it needs the door cards doing as well in black or red and the wood is not to my taste.
