Speaking from experience, well worth saving the fusebox from the parts car, for when the one in the Paprika car starts to melt!
Even better to fit relays before anything starts to melt!

Paprika and black is a stunning combination, especially boxpleat. Very very 70s. As you aren't afraid to go non-original, a "Paprika" carpet would look amazing and lighten the whole interior.
The car in Innsbruck was much worse than it looked too due to the repairs. The rear sills under the seats had been fibreglassed, so no great loss. Did you see the 2200TC in the garage?
I've changed to an all black interior, although I don't yet have the carpet. My interior is not all standard though and the theme is polished aluminium, chrome and black, sleek feel. I think as long as the headlining remains a light colour there's no real world problems with the cabin feeling small, dark colours depending on finish can actually stretch a space as they trick the eye into an expansive feel. Alternatively all black with a body coloured carpet works nicely, or I've seen grey carpet look very classy with the black.
As for wheels I also like the wire look, but I like nearly all of the ones you've shown. I ended up ordering my torq thrust 2 wheels with zero offset, but they do stick out fair amount (which is what I wanted)

as there are companies now around, which use your old steel wheels, modify them to each result in diameter, width and offset, the decision will not be easier, but then you can be sure, that the centre part of the rim still fits as the original one....
Even a 2CV now looks sporty...
