111RS #3 Build: Clam & Seat

 The front clam is back and getting secured to the car.  The access panels and rear engine lid were also repainted.  We need to rewire the turn signals and add LED rings to the light cluster.  

Another cool development is a new supplier that we have been working with on upholstery.  We had them redo a passenger seat along with the door cards.  The seat came out of an Exige originally.  I kept the same overall design but changed the materials.  In fact, I choose Alcantara, Perforated Leather and CF-look pleather.  All of these are in black and look great together.  I'm a big believer in changing up textures but staying within the same color to add a bit of cachet.  The seat turned out subtly cool.

We also added an inflatable lumber bladder that works well.  I'm especially pleased with this.  Many of the stock seats came with this feature but have failed.  We can retrofit our kit when we reupholster a clients car.
