111RS #3 Build: Rear Tailight Refinish & Interior Upgrades

 The rear taillights can get dull over time but can be refinished.  You can sand and polish or even have them clear coated.  Lee took the lights from our current 111RS build and worked his magic.  He starts with 1500 grit and wet sands the lights.  In some cases he will start with 1000 grit and then follow with 1500.  

Then he used a cutting compound and then a final polish/wax.  The end result is pretty impressive and something that a DIY could tackle.

We've also decided to dress up the interior of this 111RS.  Several clients have added Alcantara (suede) to their dashboard area and it really looks great.  Are we kidding ourselves attempting to make this car a bit more luxurious?  It is hard not to like how much nicer these parts now look and feel!

The driver seat will again be a comfy CF seat.  We're reuphostering a factory Exige seat for the passenger side.  We want to experiment with a lumber bladder upgrade on this seat.  We know many of the stock lumber bladders are failing along with the leather getting worn out.  We think we can offer to restore these worn seats with new leather/material as well as adding a new inflatable lumber bladder.

We even are looking at heated seat elements for those of you in chillier climates...
