With the interior parts back from the cleaners, the first job was to put the clean carpet back in the car. I've also put the dash back together.

What a massive difference! Apart from some fade in the driver's footwell, it looks pristine.

The rear seats - fitted back in place looking like they've never been sat on.

The finished front seats look pretty good! Also, I swapped the sides to even out the wear, so my passenger side seat is now my driver's seat.

All done! I'm now in love with the interior :-). Ironically, new floor mats I've had on my disposal have "Tuning" written on them, haha.

As you can see, the reclining adjuster is on the outside side now, so the lower plastic cover can't be used, but I don't really miss it :-).

Before & after - no comment required apart that I'm very pleased with the results - it was well worth the effort.

To firm up and lower the suspension a bit, I've installed Koni Sport adjustable shocks absorbers with Jamex -30 mm springs and BakerBM Grp.N top mounts in the front of the car...

...and matching Koni Sport adjustable dampers in the rear. I haven't altered the rear beam height.

Meanwhile, I got offered a Phase 2 Miami Blue 1.9 - a car I've been dreaming about for many years, as I've never had a Ph2 205 GTI and it was my favourite colour for that model, so I've simply had to buy it.

Unfortunately, with both of them in need of restoration, one had to go. I decided in favour of the Miami Blue and eventually managed to sell the Silver one. I'm not happy about it but I've had no other choice.
BYE BYE 205 GTI 999! :-(
