Nice one,looking good

[TouringTash]

Looks very nice fella, get some dry cleaning fluid on those seats. What ever you use don't scrub too hard with a stiff brush. Its 20 odd year old material and needs a little tlc.

Would be worth getting some cheap mats for the winter and save those good ones
OEM mats are No Longer Available (NLA) A phrase you'll come across from time to time over a few little items.

Welcome to the zone its a giggle round these parts.

[jann]

Cheers guys(Y)
There is a slight tear on the bolster on drivers seat... can these be repaired as that would be first on the list.
Ohhh are they original mats? whoa didn't know that, will save them then. need some for the rear though as it didn't come with any.
Just drove it in the wet..... definitely no LSD.... it span the inside wheel like a biatch
Well happy with my purchase.

I'm not sure if they are OEM but a genuine OEM homo will put us right. Alas I'm still a first year OEM homo apprentice.

As for the seats the bolsters, and all other parts to the seat can be dismantled and replaced.
Have a look in the technical section as I'm sure there is a guide on dismantling seats or maybe in the wiki section.

I would have thought an iS can with a slippy diff, another one for the homos.
Bloody first years

LSD on a i-S was an optional extra, as was electric roof, front fog's and BBS alloys
the 1st owner would have to have asked for them when ordering the car

looks nice jann. i love that colour iSs, you don't see many. there is one round my area somewhere, but i've never managed to catch it standing still.
BTW i have genuine OE rear mats if you're interested.

A stunning Is a really lovely colour

[Bristol_Jer]

Looks lovely

You might be able to adjust the bonnet by slackening off the bolts that hold the hinge to the bonnet and moving the bonnet slightly to get it to fit better. I had to do that with mine when I fitted a new bonnet to get the fit spot on

[jann]

Cheers for the comments and advice guys:D
Any tips of a radio, (not some one that lights up like a Christmas tree lol) just something to do the job and fit nice in the dash. nothing more than £50.

[TouringTash]

make sure the buttons are mainly on the left as the wheel and stalk obscure the right hand side.

Welcome to the i.S Cru

good luck with it, and you will soon realise how fun they are for a 20 year old 1.8
