After a while, I'm going ahead with my little project, finally mounting some parts I've had laying around for nearly a couple of years now. Here you can see 307 Automatic alloy pedal set I got off eBay.

And here's a genuine 307 CC leather steering wheel from a breaker's yard in the UK (thank you Simon).

And finally, some genuine 307 stainless steel front sill plates, part number 9623.76, also an eBay special.

Mounting the brake pedal using supplied allen screws is straightforward after removal of the original rubber pedal cover, as the holes for the screws are already there.

However, throttle pedal was a bit of a challenge and had to be removed because of the construction of the pedal.

It would be nearly impossible to position it right while at the same time manage to bolt it up, so we riveted it on instead.

The removable leg rest offers easy mounting of the leg rest pedal. We opted for riveting on this one as well.

Next up, the steering wheel. After disconnecting the battery, airbag is easily removed using two flat-headed screwdrivers inserted in the holes at the back of the steering wheel. A word of warning - do not fully unscrew and remove the main torx bolt until you've managed to release the steering wheel from the steering crown, as you'll probably end up tearing off all the airbag connectors!

Fitting the other wheel is a reverse of the removal. And there are no spare bolts left, for a change! :-)

And finally, fitting the sill plates is super-easy and quick, as it comes with a self-adhesive tape on the back. You just need to lift the plastic cover and rubber seal off of the sill seam, clean up and degrease the surface, test-fit the sill plate and and then stick it on. Job done!

Next up - 307 CC white clocks with chrome rings, red needles and radial writing. Got them from the UK (eBay once again), so they're in mph but they also have a km/h scale, in small print.

It was not a simple plug'n'play affair though, because I needed to keep my circuit board. Therefore, armed with a Torx bit, I started disassembling them.

Both sets of clocks now in bits.

I even had to go the lengths of cutting out and swapping the center "display" part, so the warning lights would remain correct.

Et voila! Clocks finished, fitted back into the car and looking classy, in my opinion.

And finally - a "before and after" shot, to sum it all up. The new details really smarten up the interior and the steering wheel is much nicer to use. As far as interior mods are concerned, that's it for now, but I've definitely got another thing or two planned ;-).
