Carpets
The passenger compartment carpet is a one piece moulded constr uction with integral sound deadening material, heel mats
and driver's footrest. The carpet is attach ed to the vehicle floor by plastic clips fitted below the door treadplates. Removal of the carpet necessitates re moval of the front seats, lifting of the centre console rear extens ion and removal of the heelboard

Fascia
The full width, slush moulded, soft feel PVC fascia is mounted on an injection moulded armature and is faced with wood
veneer. In addition to the air conditioning and central, outer and demisting vents, it accepts instrument packs dedicated to
market requirements and a centrally mounted analogue clock.
Doors
The one-piece door casings are trimmed in UEV to match the seating, with wood veneer at the waistline and a carpet insert
at the front lower corner. Each casing is secured to the door inner panel by fir tree press fast eners along the lower section,
two armrest fixings at the centre and vene er panel dowels and fixings at the top. The armrests which are common to front
and rear doors, are trimmed in matching leather or UEV according to specification. The door switchpacks, dedicated to
driver and front or rear passenger, are in corporated in the armrests. A speaker is in stalled in the lower section of each door
and a tweeter is incorporated behind each interior door handle escutcheon. Where premium ICE is fitted, the front tweeters
