everything on your bug looks amazing! I could stare at your pics for hours...
Maybe you could anodise the clips a dark grey colour, to go with both the carbon fiber and the paint

Pete, I just saw your spring plate question and since I'm working on mine I'll fill you in. The 2 left holes are for bolts to tie the spring place and trailing arm together. The center hole is for the factory porsche camber/toe adjustment tool and stays open. The right hole is for a third securing bolt or the eccentric adjuster and drop link mount for the rear sway bar.

As for the trim and panel mounts, brilliant idea. For the finish though it depends on the rest of the interior. If there are going to be polished bits here and there, polish the retainers and like wise if there's brushed aluminum. But you don't want them to be polished if there's only one or two trim pieces in the interior that are polished. I'd say go with the black anodizing but keep the hardware in silver stainless.

By unanimous decision i'll be anodizing the plates black.

I have stainless button heads, and have ordered some polished/chromed button head fastners too. The stainless button heads i have look dull. Should have it all together by the end of the week. We'll see how she looks.

Dave, i like the rubber u-channel idea for around the panel. I'll see if i can find some locally.

Post pics of your uniball setup Alex. Don't think we've seen them.
