Have a look on ClassicCarLEDs .co.uk they sell the rings and I've had fantastic experience with their customer service. I did a similar thing on my daily driver, freeing up much needed 6v amps using LEDs in the rear and side lights but NOS Phillips headlight bulbs and indicator bulbs.

I forgot I have a photo. As well as the blown plastic buck seats found in the Alpine A110 and Simca Rallye, Mod' Plastia also made extremely comfortable chairs and sofas that look like stylish nut sacks.

@bluebookvalue.bsky.social's post about seats reminds me that despite looking as dull as dishwater the Renault 30 TS had a really pleasant interior that gives retro Hi-Fi vibes

I absolutely love them, not are they super comfy but they mean more to me because I bought them from a good friend

#Qotd Question of the day!

For me it's any 4x4 coupé. The automotive equivalent of mixing all the colours together and getting diarrhoea brown

The Mosquito has it's original Mini handbrake lever but re-engineered to become a dual pivot handbrake. After being applied the lever folds down and the button retracts making it impossible to accidentally release the handbrake while getting in or out.
