Looking good, wheels suit it with a slightly off silver/gun metal colour too, not sure if they are that colour or if it's dust but they look good anyway

I remember doing that job on mine, Did the same with the little clips, used some 3m double sided tape to hold the edges once it was rapped over, who made the roof lining for you? Looks very smart!
