New 110 XS in Corris Grey

Been in and around this site for years now having had a 90XS for 3.5 years, but now with a growing family I have to have a 110!

So here is the D90 I have had for 3,5 years and I love so much!!! LOADS done to it, lots of FCX leather inside, BAS remap, MOMO wheel, Recaro seats, Nakatenga glove box, Gas rear strut, Mantec Wheel Carrier, Tow bar, Stainless Exhaust, Silicone Hoses, Landy Glass, Noisekiller Kit, Alpine Stereo with handsfree, Alpine Sub, LED lights, Speakers etc all fitted:

Now need to swap the leather across, Recaros, glove box, lights etc but will be leaving a lot on the D90 as will replace with new on the 110!!! So here is my new one, 110XS in Corris Grey with a contrast Santorini Roof. Only factory upgrades were the contrast roof, Premium Audio Upgrade and the Carpets..

Already have fitted a NAS rear step and have changed the wheels for Sawtooths and BFG AT 265 Tyres!!! Will soon be stripping out the interior then sound deadening with Dynamat/Dynaliner and Hoodliner to reduce down the noise and swapping everything over.

Am very impressed so far though - the car seems already much quieter than the 90 although the road spray noise int he rear is more than the 90. The engine seems whiter and smoother and the interior is so much bigger than the 90 and great for the coming family!!!

Also very impressed with the audio upgrade this seems so much cheaper than buying all separately as I have down this with the 90 and cost about £250 for the sub and head unit so the upgrade at £150 is good value!!!

Will post updates as I do them for the car.

That's lovely, identical to the one I'm waiting for - would like to see a pic with the Sawtooths fitted as I've gone for them too!

I could be wrong but that looks like Hunters in Southampton - where I ordered my new 90XS from a few weeks ago?!?

Stuart - Sawtooths on and will take a photo tomorrow hopefully when the rain has stopped!!! Hopefully a bit of sun?

dnorris - Yes is Hunters Southampton, bought my 90 from Richard Knight there a few years ago, he came up with the best price for the 110 and he was great last time so went there again. Was very impressed again, he collected me from the station sent all morning with me doing the handover as I surprised him a little.... I would definitely buy from them again especially as they are always willing to do a deal. Hadley Green couldn't match!

Really very happy with the interior now just a few small upgrades to come - Billet silver pedals, Premium LR mats and a pedal lock to go with the disklok of extra security!!!

Really nice upgrades and mod's you've done on this! I'm just waiting out for mine to arrive, be registered, PDI'ed and a hand-over date given! VERY excited!

What is it you've installed on the right hand side of the IP? Looks like a push start?

Particularly like the door cards! What was the lead time on these?

Hi KM,
The thing on the right side of the fascia is an exterior temp gauge. Works really well and was the only one I could find to fit in the round hole left when you have the double DIN!

Had all work done st Ruskin, took them 3 days to do entire interior although they had the seats to work on before they did all of this ion the three days. They are Leicester so not far from you and highly recommended. They aren't off the shelf but very high quality and are certainly craftspeople and highly skilled in their job! They will create the interior I bespoke to you.

Latest updates:

Have added Tarox brakes, 18" wheels, underbody protection and have now added adventure grille and black side steps since the pictures below. Had Dave at VGS fit me a one piece rear window also so now the panoramic look goes round entire car!

Also have added amp and upgraded Pioneer speakers and tweeters all around.

Now just waiting for the Wildcat upgrade in April for the LS3 V8

will add more up to date pictures as i take them, and especially before it goes for the conversion.

Just realised these pictures don't show 18" wheels or Tarox!

Andrew McMaster (MCMA1) has been a great help with loads of advice in getting the conversion done.

Now need to find a company that can make bespoke instrument dials for the Puma... Hate the fact it will say Diesel on the dash when it becomes a petrol!!!

Andrew's work is amazing! Yet to see the interior finished but can't wait. Didn't he have a new plaque made up with petrol?

Thanks for writing the thread, lets those of us that can only dream, enjoy too.
