INTERIOR
As the sports model of the Milano line, the Verde interior differs from the other models. The
instrument panel is different and the gauge markings are orange. The seats are by Recaro and have very prominent
side bolsters. I'm physically on the small side, yet these seats are more grippy than any others I've experienced.
The fabric material helps in this regard compared with leather.

The red Momo steering wheel and gearshift knob and the pedal pads are my one concession to bling!.

|
The seats were recovered using genuine Recaro cloth in the centers, but a similar fuzzy fabric was used on
the bolsters as the orginal fabric was unavailable.
The bolsters on the front seats have faded some from the California sun.

The drivers door panel and other center panels that were failing or fading were replaced.

DASHBOARD REPLACEMENT
The cracked original dashboard and instrument cluster binacle were replaced with un-cracked pieces.
|
|
|
In the process of replacing the dashboard the new parts were coated with a UV-protectant from Color Plus.
|
Heat insulation was also installed on the underside of the instrument cluster binacle.
