if lily b doesn't die from the various hisses and chugs before next september, i have been volunteered as a wedding driver - now outside she looks good, but i will want new carpets (i see that bull motif get recommended a lot) and the piping round the door frames will also need redoing - any ideas?
and - very odd - you know those flowers that indian cabs have - anyone know where to buy them?

sssshhhh.....it's going to be very classy. the piping needs redoing for sure though, it's at the metal by the drivers door.....
on the engine / electrics thing i am getting the red light a fair bit in static traffic, without a radio and heating on - what was the drill for that again?

Door seal ? Check with Bull Motif at the same time as buying carpets....
I refuse to comment about the flowers

Shamelessly nicked from a web page.
Good flowers for garlands are nerium odorum, marigold, jasmine, tube rose, champa etc. Nerium odorum is the most heavenly fragranced flower, commonly grown and available in peninsular India. In South India it is fairly common in venis and malas. You can use any flower you fancy, its just that highly fragranced flowers are usually preferred. Roses and hibiscuses tend to be inserted in the hair singly, but there is no reason why they could not be incorporated in a multi flower garland. Leaves can also be interspersed between the flowers. If you keep ready garlands in a thin plastic bag in the fridge they remain fresh for a couple of days.
I think the simple answer is Marigolds.

How about silk flowers from a garden centre - there are some really good ones around, but they won't mark the seating with pollen, and can be the right colours for the wedding?
Google indian wedding garlands - it will show you flowers,firms and colours.

good call regalia queen.
so all you have to do now is look forward to my questions next august about fitting garlands to a car!!
i have had a look at various specialist websites and although she isn't an immaculate white convertible, she should hold her own - especially with my travel cocktail bar.
