    Thanks for reply Paul (was feeling i could be a longterm lonely UK member )

    Only 50 you say!...well i can believe that.

    I pick the 2000 model Firefox red mica VX up at the week-end...mint condition, with red/black leather interior (Imported from US) and only 37K miles on the clock.....Has been over here since 2000 with just the 3 owners.

    Looking forward to it

    Cheers, Phil.

    ps. would be interested in any of your experiences with it and any issues you may of had!

    JDM Firefox model here in the UK had the original cloth seats swapped out for the red/black leather (previous owner imported the leather seats from the States)...Must be like gold dust to get hold of now!

    ps, looks nice but it still has the grey/black interior door cards...would look great if i could get hold of the red door cards (might be worth getting the grey covered in red vinyl or similar ?! Maybe )

    E-Z P-Z...

    Just take the int panel off the door, everything comes apart very easily (faux c/f, map pocket, speaker grilles, lock plunger grommets, & door handles) from the back side...

    Then just clean it up real good, shoot it with adhesion promoter, the color of your choosing, & a couple coats of flat clear...DONE!

    I prefer a whorish spritz of RED personally...

    I don't recall even having to mask anything off...
