Everyone seems to be saying that. lol. I saw it in my head and went for it. I love it. The headlining will make it better, thinking about maybe doing the gear stick gaitor. And maybe the handbrake. Not sure though. -
I was skeptical on the seat color but it came out looking awesome. Good job!Leave a comment:

Went out in the morning after leaving it on all night and it had bubbles a bit but i still had to scrub it off, so since it worked sort of i put it on all the other dishes and it all bubbled off in an our and came off really easy. Couldn't really understand. Think it where they were in the sun. So got it all off now.
Anyway. I cracked the file out and attacked the curbing. Came out great!

Looks shinyer than it is. Need a polish up.
And here is some the pics i said about in the last post

So i got my leather arm rest in the post today. And i got it colored as soon as i got it.
A comparison, Old vs new
Also covered the air con surround that was the same fabric as the headlining in carbon fiber vynal wrap.
Made a massive difference!
Also split the rest of the RS. Am taking the centers to the machine shop middle of next week. Will fix the curbing on the dishes while thats happening. And prob change my headlining while im at it. Does anyone know what i can use to strip the lacquer off the dishes. Paint stripped does not touch it!
Went on a photo shoot tonight as well but i will upload those pics tomorrow because i will have to edit them. lolLeave a comment:

So.....Uni is over and i am home to play with my car again.
Fist thing i did is get my RS from my mate who was keeping them for me and then as soon as i took one of the caps off i looked at the bolt holes and they looked a bit small so i took a bolt from the passat and as i suspected the holes are too small for the m14 bolts.
Today was very productive, Went machine shop and got a price to enlarge the holes in the RS. Then i got the tyres taken off, Washed my car, fitted my new bonnet bra and then started splitting down the wheels.
The FIRST time these wheels have been split. They are completely original.
Will look better with smaller tyres. lol.
Heating up sealant to take out centers
And the "look i have wide wheels" pic that is mandatory when taking apart RS. lol

I cracked on with the door cards today! And i think its really made a massive difference!
Before

Tiny bit of contrast between the seats and headlining lol
Going to try all the gray grab handles etc in black before changing the headlining fabric.
I personally think it looks amazing!Leave a comment:

Finished off the colouring today and got the seat fitted. Might be able to do the door cards tomorrow!
Fitted the black trim from my old seats as well. Typical that when i was taking all the plastic trim bits off from the cream interior i broke nothing but when i was taking the black bits off that i wanted, i brake a few bits! lol
Stripped the interior and spent a while hovering up all the crap. DIDNT EVEN FIND ANY MONEY?!?!?!
Took a pic to show how much the suspension raised up after taking the interior out. A good 20mm i would say!
A pic of a finished seat
Its hard to take pics of the interior. Nut this is the best i could do in a rush.
Not to sure about the headlining now. Might be in for a change as it doesn't really go that well. At least change the arm rest anyway.
And i also FINALLY got tracking number for my RS coming from Germany yesterday!
Might get the door cards in tomorrowLeave a comment:
