Hi everyone,
Bought this little black beauty a few weeks ago, and see that she was here before (in 2006). Already have a very soft spot for her, but she needs a little tidying and fettling. So my questions are:
1. Where best near Manchester for parts and service?
2. Recommendations for a leather restorer?
3. Any idea where in the UK I can find a Piano Black Centre console?
4. Thought on radio replacement - requiring Bluetooth and Aux, maybe DAB?
4. Ideas regarding origin of petrol smell with hard cornering (bit intermittent)
5. Where can I find a red powder coated cam cover?
6. Same for a red strut brace
7. Temp gauge never rises above about a quarter - I am presuming thermostat but any other possibilities?
8. Is the Barchetta owners club still going, I have emailed an application but no response x2.
Thanks for any help or responses. Having had a selection of high end sports cars, I can't believe how much MORE fun the B is!!!
 
Hi Steve,
The door insert are shiny black and the console silver - I was thinking it may look better in piano black. Have found a website which seems to offer a variety. Also need to change the handbrake surround - the faux suede is very worn. I will look through the bumble bee thread now.
Cheers
