from the Editor
H
aving recently returned from a very brief trip up to the Big Smoke I am enormously thankful that fate and circumstance conspired to bring us to Ballito at a time when property was still affordable. Looking at property prices here today, I am amazed that anyone can afford to live here.
Admittedly, I am apparently hopelessly out of touch with the economic reality of our time, having spent the past fifteen years in Ballito where the average salary wouldn’t stretch to cover a modest studio apartment in one of the newer developments. So, how does one get onto the property ladder in the Ballito area? There are many people looking to relocate here – and indeed, many are arriving each month to enjoy the pleasures of coastal living, Ballito style. And if your budget doesn’t allow you to move in at the top, is there a way to work your way up from a more modest start? Buying a more modestly priced fixer-upper in the suburbs could be a way in, but with building costs being at an all-time high and with so many horror stories of rogue builders and artisans in circulation here, it could be a risky business.
So, Life & Style has embarked on a project to determine the feasibility of an idea like this by putting together what we consider to be the perfect team to tackle the job. Over the next three months we will show you how a rather plain fortysomething year old Ballito house can be turned into an altogether more attractive proposition with a fairly modest budget using selected suppliers and professional services. The Renovation Dream Team will run as a feature across all of the platforms that we specialise in – Print, Radio and Internet. There will be a regular feature on Radio Life & Style 88.0fm every Tuesday at 4pm introducing different members of the team and outlining their scope of work on the project each week. The feature will be available online as a podcast on our website www. lifeandstyle.fm each week in case you miss the live discussion. In addition, each Tuesday there will be a video uploaded to our website showing the weekly transformation as it progresses. The video will feature time-lapse sequences of the demolition and reconstruction as well as insight into the techniques used to achieve each step of the process. A complete video production of the project will then be featured online at the completion of the project.
Each fortnight there will be a progress report in print in this publication showing pics of the transformation and information about the build and the people involved as well as anecdotes and issues as they occur. We have had a property professional assess the property before the renovation to give an evaluation and the same professional will return on completion of the project to assess whether what has been spent and achieved has increased the value of the property significantly enough to make it a viable option. Ultimately, you will be the judge.

A DOG OR A GOAT – WHO’S YOUR BEST FRIEND NOW?
W
ITH their reputation for eating almost anything and for getting themselves stuck in precarious positions, goats might not seem like the most obvious choice as an intelligent companion.
But new research suggests that goats may in fact rival dogs in their ability to ‘talk’ to humans. The study found the horned ruminants use similar methods to dogs to communicate their intentions or desires to humans. It could mean that goats may be able to usurp dogs as man’s best friend. Perhaps unsurprisingly for an animal that spends the majority of its life chewing, these body-language-based conversations tend to revolve around food. But the findings show that goats may be far more intelligent than they are perhaps given credit for. Biologists at Queen Mary University of London found the goats use their gaze in the same way as dogs when they face a problem they cannot solve. For example, if they cannot reach a tasty morsel of food placed just beyond their reach, the goats will gaze repeatedly between the snack and a human in the same room. Dogs have been found to use similar approaches to communicate that they would like some help to get the food.
In their study published in the journal Biology Letters, the researchers found the goats also changed how they directed their gaze depending on what a human was doing. If a person was facing away from them, they would rarely look their way to appeal for help getting food, but if the person was looking at them, they would use this gaze technique more often. Dr Christian Nawroth, a biologist at Queen Mary University of London who was the first author of the study, said: Goats gaze at humans in the same way as
dogs do when asking for a treat that is out of reach, for example. ‘Our results provide strong evidence for complex communication directed at humans in a species that was domesticated primarily for agricultural production, and show similarities with animals bred to become pets or working animals, such as dogs and horses.’ Goats are thought to have been one of the first animals to have been domesticated around 10,000 years ago. Unlike many livestock animals, goats are known to be highly inquisitive and
intelligent. They are renowned escape artists, squeezing and climbing into the most unlikely to places. They are also famed for eating almost anything – from clothes to tin cans – but this is thought to stem from their natural curiosity which sees them explore the world around them with their mouths. To conduct their study the researchers trained goats to remove a lid from a box to receive a reward. They then made the reward inaccessible and recorded the goat’s reaction. Depending on whether someone was watching them, the goats would change their behaviour to indicate their intent. In one case if their initial appeal for help was ignored by a human onlooker, they would move onto another human watching them – approaching them and then walking back to the puzzle they wanted help with. ‘Goats were the first livestock species to be domesticated, about 10,000 years ago,’ said Dr Alan McElligott, lead author of the study at Queen Mary University of London. ‘From our earlier research, we already know that goats are smarter than their reputation suggests, but these results show how they can communicate and interact with their human handlers even though they were not domesticated as pets or working animals.’

The surprising “leave” Brexit vote was indeed a surprise and led to a run on the markets in the aftermath. From a currency point of view, UK was obviously in the thick of it and therefore depreciated even more than the humble Rand. In fact, since the beginning of the year, the Rand has appreciated by 25% against the British Pound and gained 14.5% against the US Dollar. One thing that has been highlighted in

the wake of the recent shock is the need for offshore exposure in your portfolio. The challenge, however, is ensuring you take that position for the right reasons and at the right price. Warren Buffet will tell you that having emotions (read: fear) determine your investment decisions is a futile and expensive mistake to make. Doing it at the levels (prices) seen in January made little sense. With the recent Rand strength, the price is starting to make sense, however, the reason to invest abroad needs to agree with your Financial Plan as well. There are a number of factors to consider when investing abroad. Your chosen currency is the first one, closely followed by where
and how you want and need your assets to be deployed. There is one often overlooked aspect, however, that is becoming increasingly important – Capital Gains Tax. As mentioned in previous articles, this form of wealth tax is becoming a critical component in intelligent planning and structuring of your investment portfolio. Of all the investment categories, offshore investing has the most to lose from this. Depending on how you are invested in foreign assets, you may be liable for CGT on Rand depreciation. Depreciation is a given and as a result of the different inflation rates experienced in different countries. This inflation differential leads to the inevitable depreciation of the country with the higher rate of inflation. Between SA and the developed world, it’s easy to see who the loser will be. With an average depreciation of 8% p.a, the CGT implication on that is incredibly high! In fact, this translates to as much as 2% of total returns p.a for individuals and 3% p.a for Trusts. That is a healthy chunk out of your returns and one that is easily avoidable with the use of a wrapper (type of investment vehicle). In short, know why you are investing abroad, ensure it’s at a fair price and in the most appropriate currency. From there, looking for investments that invest in strong, dividend paying stocks with long track records – consistency and certainty of returns is vital. Oh, and don’t pay your returns away in unnecessary tax….. Find out more: Offshore seminar 19th July, Simbithi Office Park. E-mail: slatter@privatewealth.co.za to book.

Germare Buys Ashton College
O
N Friday, 24 June Francois Groenewald and Bevan Harris, two of the Ashton’s sports coaches joined other competitors in the Slimline Pool Challenge.
These two youngsters committed themselves to this challenge – not for their own gain, but to benefit the students of the Grace Wing at Ashton International College. This special needs wing is an Autism-specific unit catering for students on the Autism
spectrum aged between 4 and 7. At the Grace Wing we follow an Autism specific curriculum, with in-house staff training as well enjoying the services of a full-time Occupational Therapist as well as a fulltime Speech Therapist. This highly structured environment is suited best for our Gracelings as they are fondly referred to, to grow and achieve towards full-time inclusion
• Occupational Therapists, Sp Educational Psychologist in
• Variety of Sport and Cultura
• Expanding - additional Gra 6 classes
• Construction of 19 new Inte in each classroom • Grade 0000 - Grade 12 within the mainstream classrooms. It was an upbeat group who made it through the first day, and Saturday night Slimline Pools announced that the teams were being spilt and unfortunately Bevan Harris was out. But Francois remained strong focusing on these very special children, and the difference a dedicated pool with controlled temperatures would make to their therapy. And what an Amazing Hero and Ambassador for Ashton and the Grace Wing he has been. He bravely made it through two cold nights and two full days and a HUGE thank you
to all his supporters and family, the Ashton family and the special visits from the Gracelings, for spending the hours around the pool until all weekend. After seven elimination challenges, Francois won the final challenge and was announced the Winner. We would like to congratulate and thank Francois for this wonderful, selfless deed and what he has done for our children at the Grace Wing. He will always be remembered at Ashton.
Ashton will now have a “Francois Groenewald Learn to Swim Indoor Centre” for our special kids to swim every day. The Grace Wing salutes you for blessing us this special pool.

WHERE DOES THE FAT GO? AND OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS. PHRASES YOU NEED TO SAY TO YOURSELF MORE OFTEN
1 KIM MARTIN - LIFESTYLE HEALTH
I
HAVE always maintained that knowledge is power. It is often assumed that dietitians choose their career paths based on an inherent interest in healthy eating. While this is for the most part true, this does not mean that we always were our healthiest selves. It is through our studies that we became healthier, because once you have learned exactly how each food can and will affect your body, it is quite impossible to turn that off.
In the interest of empowering knowledge, have you ever stopped to think where the fat mass actually goes when you lose weight? Let’s shed some light on that, as well as other, previously unanswered questions.
WHERE DOES THE FAT GO?
When you lose weight, the majority of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide. If you would not have guessed this, you are not alone. In fact when dietitians, doctors and personal trainers were asked to explain where lost weight went to, few were able to give the correct answer. The University of New South Wales released a study in 2014 to reveal the common misconception amongst health professionals, and the real mechanism by which we lose the physical weight when changing our diet or exercise program. To briefly explain the process, fat can be broken down to create energy (as you may have guessed). Over and above this energy production, the fat molecule itself (with the help of added oxygen) is converted to a bunch of carbon dioxide molecules, and water. When you lose fat, approximately 84% of this is exhaled as carbon dioxide, with the remaining 16% being excreted as water. This means that your lungs are the primary excretory organs for fat. It should be added here that breathing more will not make you lose more weight, it will just mean that you are hyperventilating.
CAN I CHANGE MY METABOLISM?
You are not stuck with the metabolism you were born with. Your metabolism is linked to your weight, but a slow metabolism is not the root cause of excess weight gain. The primary determinants of your weight are your food and drinks intake, along with your exercise pattern. That being said, your metabolism can in fact be boosted to give you a helping hand
on your weight loss journey. In 2014, a study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that strength training burnt approximately twice as many calories per minute than cardiovascular-based training. Furthermore, the researchers found that strength training could even reverse up to 50% of an age-related slow metabolism. This metabolism boost was not only during the exercise session itself, but also continued after the session is completed. This means that it may benefit you more to hit the weights section, than just the treadmill.
WILL EXERCISING MORE MAKE ME LOSE MORE WEIGHT?
Exercising just 30 minutes per day is sufficient for weight loss, and in some cases, preferable to longer sessions. Exercise is crucial in the formula for health, and very beneficial for weight loss. However, the common misconception is that more will be better when it comes to exercising for weight loss. In fact, a 2012 study published in the American Journal of Physiology found that sedentary men who worked out daily for 30 minutes lost more weight over a period of 13 weeks than those who worked out at the same intensity for an hour. The researchers concluded that shorter exercise sessions led the men to burn calories without the need to replace them as much. The idea being that when you exercise for longer, you are more likely to overeat later to replace the energy expended during the workout. This pretty much explains the success of a popular fast food
chain moving in next to the new gym in town. You work out really hard for over an hour, feel fantastic, then crave something deep fried and salty, with a side of sugar in a can. It’s marketing 101.
FINAL THOUGHTS
There is more to weight loss than hitting the gym and sticking to salads (whilst that is a good place to start). It can be a relatively complex subject matter, however it is worth exploring so that you foster a “food conscience” to guide you towards your best and healthiest self.

I would rather be kind than be right. You don't always have to be the smartest or sharpest-sometimes the best thing to do is to be kind whenever you can, realizing how much strength and restraint it sometimes takes. When you make kindness a habit, it will be returned to you 10-fold.

I'm never too busy. The most successful people have time for others; it's those who have a hard time getting things done who are too busy to spend time with colleagues, friends, and family. Keep your priorities in order and work to become the kind of person who says, "I'm never too busy."
3
I cannot control everything, but I can always control my response. We cannot control many things, but we can control one thing--how we respond. Instead of trying to change what you cannot control, work on controlling your own attitude and actions. Say to yourself, I am in control of my responses. They can either be good for me or bad for me, but that is my choice.

THE HAIR EXTENSION BRENDAN BROEDELET - INNOVATIONS HAIR ACADEMY
D
onned by both fashionistas and young Hollywood alike, hair extensions have seemingly sky-rocketed into popularity in the last decade. Celebrities bringing out their own lines of extensions are now appearing on the red carpet with suddenly long locks. You may have even tried them yourself, but did you know that hair extensions form part of a tradition in styling that goes back to the days of Cleopatra?
History reveals Egyptian mummies dating back to 3400 BC wearing weaves that would have been attached to their own hair. Not unlike the vibrant colours of extensions available today, these hair pieces were worn in shades of blue, red and gold which stood out and contrasted beautifully against their black hair. Cleopatra who was probably slavishly followed as a fashion icon, wore extensions of an intense peacock blue that were attached to her own hair with waxes and gum from trees, bees and plants. Wigs, weaves and hairpieces were afforded only by the wealthy sector of the population while the poorer classes used grasses and other cosmetic materials for hair decoration. Not to be outdone by the women in these ancient times, the men also wore hairpieces,
wigs and extensions, but as a protection against the harsh desert conditions and not for beautification. Fast forward to 1700s in Europe and the Americas and powdered wigs called Perukes came into fashion and were worn by both men and women. They were championed by a French king of the time, who wore one to hide his balding head from his subjects. Then in the early 1900’s the Pompadour rose to fame. The style required frames and sponges to be used to achieve its signature shape. This Pompadour later evolved into the iconic Beehive hairstyle of the sixties, which also required an awful amount of teasing and hair pieces to give it that structured look. So clearly we aren’t the first generations to enhance our hair with extensions. Although I am happy to report that with all the silicone, keratin and human hair products on the market today, we need not resort to grass or plant wax for that special occasion look.

the goodness guru takes on CHOCOLATE
I
WAS whipping up Raw Organic Banting Hot Chocolate in my fab Thermomix last month and so many people asked me the difference between Cocoa and Cacao, that I thought I better discuss the Good, The Bad and the Necessity of Chocolate as part of a healthy diet.
Chocolate is made from the bean and fruit of the cacao tree, Theobroma Cacao. Theobroma literally means ‘food of the gods’, a sentiment with which many would agree. There are lots of studies regarding chocolate’s amazing health benefits but unfortunately they are not referring to your average yummy supermarket chocolates. The ingredient that they’re referring to is raw cacao. Raw cacao is made by cold-pressing unroasted cocoa beans. The process keeps the living enzymes in the cocoa and removes the fat (cacao butter). Cocoa powder might look the same as raw cacao but it’s been roasted at high temperatures. Sadly, roasting changes the molecular structure of the cocoa bean, reducing the enzyme content and lowering the overall nutritional value.
What are the health benefits of raw cacao?
• Lowers insulin resistance. • High in antioxidants which help protect your nervous system, repair damaged cells and reduce the
risk of cardiovascular disease. • Rich in minerals: Magnesium, iron, potassium, calcium, zinc, copper and manganese. • Effective and healthy cough suppressant. • Diuretic • Reduces effects of high blood pressure.
CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM – DAIRY FREE SUGAR FREE GUILT FREE
The night before you want this dessert you need to peel, chop and freeze 4 bananas in a Tupperware or ziplock bag. 1 handful soaked cashew nuts – blend to a paste 2 Tsp raw cocoa powder – available from our lovely LifeStyle Health 1 Tsp raw honey to taste Blend all together for gooey ice cream.
So Chocolate can be good for you as close to its natural state
as possible. Check out the list from best to worst below... 1.Organic Raw Cacao – Big Thumbs Up. 2.Belgium Cocoa and 70% plus Dark Chocolate – Pretty Good. 3.Carob - Good substitute 4.Milk Chocolate, Syrups, Drinks and baked goods – Basically all sugar and fat. 5.White Chocolate – don’t bother! The Downside of Chocolate is that not everyone reacts well to the stimulating effects of theobromine, oxalic acid and caffeine. Some people feel hyper and then lethargic, experience migraines and it can interfere with the body's absorption of calcium. Also, the theobromine that is helpful to humans can be deadly to domestic animals including horses and dogs. So Good Chocolate can be Good for you – just remember it is an energy-rich food, so eat and enjoy in moderation and in its purest possible state.

Yoga Is The Lighthouse. LORNA BOWMAN
I
F we do not do the correct actions that assist our human body to progress - it must regress. If we will not help it to go forward - it goes backward.
It is so with the body, it is so with the mind and it is so with the spirit. We all need that non-solemn side, the social side to our lives where we can eat together, chat, drink a bit too much. It’s only bad if it’s the only way you know how to enjoy yourself. There's tremendous enjoyment in connecting with nature - an energising walk, a swim in the tidal pool. Get moving before you are due to eat a meal - you will enjoy it that much more. Are you capable of doing a good lunge, lifting your arms high over your head, holding up your torso with your own muscles? Does the very idea fill you with terror? If you've never even tried it you have no idea what you are missing out on. If all you do is move from one social engagement to the next, if you have to be surrounded by friends and family all of the time, if you secretly feel you don't get enough attention, your life is out of balance. There was something on Carte Blanche about an English woman who was devastated because her son - now a young man, had joined some terrorist group in Somalia and had killed a whole lot of people and now ended up dead himself. Yes, of course I felt for her, how awful, but we cannot decide how our kids are going to turn out or what they are going to choose for themselves. We cannot decide what their dreams should be. Kalil Gibran says you
are merely the bow that shoots the arrow, our children are
through us not of us. It makes us so
darn miserable to want things a certain way! Sure there’s a lot one can do to make a life that is close to your wish but you just cannot orchestrate the whole thing. One of the greatest lessons of yoga is realising how you have to accept and work with what you've got. Sure you can lose a bit of weight - you will anyway, but you cannot change your age, you can’t have it all over again and say then I would have taken better care of myself, I wouldn't have smoked, I would have checked my posture. It is what it is and you take it from there. What is spoiling your love of life? If it is something beyond your control get over it, if it is a general lacklustre permanent sort of dullness, come to yoga and get rid of it. If you just don’t know but you just aren’t feeling great then definitely come to yoga and find out how it feels to love life, accept stuff, stop trying to find that big “don’t even know what it is” something that you think is going to make everything better. You cannot control what others do, not spouse, not children, no one! When you give up the control your children will be off the hook to live their own dreams. What you can do is make
enormous changes to yourself mentally, physically, spiritually, yoga helps every step of the way! Young, old, cool, not so cool - yoga for everyone. Namaste Namaste. 072 885 6376

Renovation Dream Team Launch
T
HE wise money says there’s cash to be made in property if you buy in the right location.
The Ballito region is hot right now but prices are sky high. We want to show you how you can take a modestly priced older house and, with a bit of imagination and the right team, turn it into a gem worth much more than the amount outlaid. Life & Style is proud to present a brand new innovative property feature called The Renovation Dream Team. The Project was launched at the Radio Life & Style 88FM studio recently and all of the key members of the team were there to celebrate.
Watch how over the next three months an elderly Ballito house is given a makeover by a team of Ballito professionals to show how you can get similar results. Chapman Builders is managing the project and we will be introducing you the Dream Team over the next few weeks as the project unfolds. Read, watch and listen as we cover the progress of The Renovation Dream Team on video on our website www. lifeandstyle.fm, on radio Life & Style and in print in Life & Style, our fortnightly Lifestyle paper. See how exciting a renovation in Ballito with the right team can be.

INTRODUCING THE RENOVATION DREAM TEAM A LIFE & STYLE SPECIAL PROJECT
I
T’S no secret that Ballito is hot property - it’s one area in the country that is experiencing real growth right now despite the generally unexciting economic climate in the country. But it also no secret that property prices in Ballito are scary. But there is value to be had if you know where to look and how to go about realising it.
While for many, buying into the newly established gated estates is just too costly, there are houses in the area that, with a bit of clever remodelling, can give you all of the benefits of coastal living in style at a fraction of the cost. But beware, tackling a renovation on your own could end up costing you far more than you bargained on and there are more dodgy builders and tradesmen lurking in the shadows waiting to take you for a ride than you might imagine. Ask almost anyone and they will relate horror stories what goes on in the building trade here – and most of it is true! So, we have decided to create a Dream Team of professionals – companies that have been recommended to us for their honest dealing and ability to deliver the best results with a minimum of drama – to take on the task of turning an ordinary old Ballito house into something more exciting. If the project is successful the value of the finished product should exceed the market value cost of the renovation. One school of thought . is that with building costs at an all-time high, this will simply not be achievable. We invited Johnny Mutton, an estate agent with RE/MAX, Dolphin Realtors to do an evaluation before the renovation commenced and he will return after the completion of the project to give us an updated appraisal. Will the value be there?

YOLIS – PARADISE UNDER A LITCHI TREE
A
pâtisserie is a type of French or Belgian bakery that specializes in pastries. In both countries, it is a legally controlled title that may only be used by bakeries that employ a licensed maître pâtissier master pastry chef. In France and Belgium, the pâtissier is a pastry chef who has completed a lengthy training process, typically an apprenticeship, and passed a written examination. Often found in partnership with a boulangerie (bakery), pâtisseries are a common sight in towns and villages in France and Belgium but not easy to find in South Africa. There are a few in Cape Town and one or two in the Big Smoke, but many people are amazed to discover real French style breads and pastries made with love right here in Ballito.
Well, okay, the purists will be quick to point out that Yoli’s Artisan Breads & Pastries is technically in Salt Rock but I contend that Ballito is now a brand much bigger than the little town that it used to be and that the entire Dolphin Coast region now falls under the Brand Ballito banner. Nicky Cooper is the talent behind this charming little store,
dedicated to the memory of her French grandmother Yolande – or Yoli…that’s where the name comes from. She learned the secrets of real French patisserie through family recipes passed down through the ages and later honed her craft at the Christina Martin academy that produced so many excellent chefs here over the years. Then Nicky set off to broaden her horizons overseas where she trained under a top French pastry chef before returning home to set up shop in Ballito. Nicky and her Australian engineer husband had a limited budget and had to use a great deal of imagination, creativity and ingenuity to create a place that feels just right.
R
Only the best quality ingredients are used at Yolis and their flour is stone ground to maintain its goodness and flavour. They found a local mill that produces limited quantities and you can buy it direct from the bakery! But you won’t leave with just a bag of flour – that would be impossible because their breads and pastries, pies, croissants, baguettes and other treats are just too good to ignore. And why would you deny yourself the pleasure? With a piece of fresh bread in your hand you’ll find paradise under a pine tree. – Russian Proverb The Litchi Orchard, Salt Rock 082 567 3234 www.yolis.co.za

The New PEUGEOT 3008 GT SUV temper, GT spirit
T
HE PEUGEOT 3008 GT is a truly modern expression of driving pleasure, aimed at aesthetes who are looking for a new driving experience. The GT version crowns the brand’s new SUV range. Exclusively equipped with the 2.0L BlueHDi 180 S&S EAT6, the new PEUGEOT 3008 GT has the benefit of a series of specific attributes as well as the unique “Coupe Franche” paint design. In addition, the GT Line finish offers, on more affordable engine versions, a synthesis of sporty and top-of-the-range
looks. The new PEUGEOT 3008 GT and GT Line are part of the brand’s move up the range and will be available from the commercial launch from October 2016.
GT - For PEUGEOT, this name, emblematic in the history of cars, has a very specific meaning which helps the brand stand out from the crowd and enhance the status of the driver. The GT version of the new PEUGEOT 3008 has:
•an exclusive engine: the 2.0L BlueHDi 180 S&S, combined with the EAT6
automatic six-speed gearbox. It is the most powerful version of the range, providing even more intense driving pleasure •a more sporty bearing, with fender flares
19” tyres as (235 50 R19) combined with two-tone diamondcut BOSTON wheel rims. Only available in the GT version, this dynamic tyre is combined with running gear specifically developed to get the most out of it •finely crafted, and its
standard
technologically
advanced lights, with
Full LED headlights as standard and sequential indicators •an exclusive bodywork colour. With a standard two-tone roof in brilliant “Black Diamond”, the GT version offers as an option the ambitious “Coupe Franche” paint design using three of the range’s colours (Platinum Grey, Amazonite Grey and Metallic Copper).
The interior of the GT version sports fine copper double topstitching on the dashboard trim, door trim panels and central armrests. This copper topstitching is on the contoured seats covered with a 3-material TEP/ Alcantara trim, or as an option, with a magnificent Nappa Mistral leather. Once comfortably seated, the driver feels immediately attracted to the beauty of the compact steering wheel - which proudly sports the GT logo in chromed steel on the lower flat part - the rim of which is covered with full-grain leather, also with copper topstitching. And the sensory journey continues. The magnificent genuine aged-oak trim on the dashboard and door panels are a joy to behold and touch. Finally, the exclusive touch in the GT’s interior environment is based on a host of small details demonstrating the brand’s know-how in the area of well-being and prestige: touches of satin steel chrome in the driver’s compartment, stainless steel pedal unit, footrest and front door sills, floor mats with copper stitching, black roof trim and window uprights etc. The exterior design of the new PEUGEOT 3008 is very powerful. It has adopted all the characteristics of the SUVs, is surprisingly expressive and has an extremely consistent look. The proportions are perfect, the design is inspired
