Well,

It's time to get a project topic of my own.

The first picture you see is of my previous Spider twinspark (1st picture) i drove it for 3,5 years and enjoyd it very much, so i bought another spider the one i drive today.

When i first bought the 3.0 spider it was slightly modified by the previous owner. (2nd picture)

Last year the spider had 18'' sienna's wheels with polished lips, (picture 3 and 4) a nice and classy wheel but there to much sienna wheels here in Holland so the had to make place for a unique set.

I've changed the wheels and some other parts include the zender cup spoiler and the car looks like the last picture's, as you know it.

I will post progress here, if you like.

Time for some new modifications!

There is still work at the new brakes, this weekend he know more about the brackets that willbe custom made to fit the big 166 brembo calipers with 330x28 brembo lancia delta discs! At the picture you see the calipers next to a standard 24v caliper!

Yesterday i got a new interior.... Sportiva electric seats with red stitches :wub:

:happy0045::wub: next job is to wire the electric system from the seats and the seatheating.

Also finaly got my silver rings for the speedo clocks! the 3 inner console rings i head already.

i've changed the silver fase 2 for a black fase 1 so almoust everything is black and red inside B)

Also mounted a pinninfarina logo on the black painted inner console! looks very nice!

My garage still didn't deliver my Qv badges so i will order somewhere else.

Lots of projects to do for know!

New photo shoot will come when this step is completed.

I can tell you its hard to find electric seats in good condition, to find sportiva seats... close to impossible.

I've searched for 2 years and missed 3 deals on electric seats 1 time that where sportiva's in the UK only the shipping costs then where €350,-

I've got a nice backseat for you! Doesn't fit in my spider

Don't know, first i'm going to build in the seats, then i want to look for the other leather to transform like limmitata back wall in the spider! Maybe i can use the leather of the backseat for this!

If not i wil send you a message and we will look with shipping costs etc.

Yesterday i've installed the Sportiva seats and wired all the electric!

Hell of a job but everything works properly!

The seats are just porn!

Far more sideway support! seat heating is dilicious!

Red stitches looks awesome... :wub:

Today i mounted my cleaned bumper with a number plate sticker ( lets see how long i can drive without being caught :happy0045: ).

Now you see the real lines like Pinninfarina wanted the design. :wub:

Edit : Don't mind the Fresh airducts there drying and the knobs are holding them in perfect place.
