interior

[Mike.]

the interior of my car is really dull its a mk2 and the dash is the plainest i've ever seen any ideas about what i should do. i was thinkin about a bit of colour coding

[Al Wilson]

No rip the lot out!

[Mike.]

what like add a full cage and race seats

[Al Wilson]

Mmmm something like that! :D

Just putting in a rollcage makes the interior look a whole lot better.

[Mike.]

your car looks fantastic m8 i;m sure i've seen that in a magazine the interior looks ace i'm not sure mine will ever look like that

[Al Wilson]

Redline and TV mate. Just something a little different, taken bloody ages though!

[Mike.]

the vents in the doors are a bit different must taken ages i need to do something with mine, there rotten along the bottom are they repairable?

[Al Wilson]

Depending on how much its usually a case of cutting out the rust and fibreglassing and filling the gaps. If they are way beyond that its easier to get a door from a scrappy or break job.

[General Baxter]

look on the link in my sig there a photo of my dash (the bottom picture)

[Mike.]

that looks pretty good m8, was int a struggle to get the dash out and how did you paint it?

[General Baxter]

you got the 4 star screw on the side (you can see as you open the door)
then you got the one under the ash tray, then theres 2 holding it to the car 1 you have to take the glove box out for and one you have to take the clocks out for, which should all ready be done if your taking your dash out


paint!

its 5 coats of just normal primer, i found halfords yes halfords primer is the best around, then the paint is from motorworld about 3 coats of that

[Mike.]

I could go extreme and have no dash bord just a number of dials

[Al Wilson]

Good luck if you go down that route mate. Its a nightmare to do but for
me its been worth it in the long run!

[Mike.]

i'm just thinkin of all the possibilities really

[General Baxter]

people have a choice its up to you really


off topic - iv been busy posting tonight, i should not have eaten the out of date muffin :)

[Al Wilson]

Its your decision at the end of the day and getting inspiration from others is the best way to decide. For me I just wanted it to be original.

[Mike.]

it definetly worked for you and your mean machine whats next for your car , i think i will go down the gsi route

[General Baxter]

bodykit wize - see it this way, how offen do you want to get pulled by the police?

iv only got an abyss kit and blacked out windows and get pulled about every 3 days!

[Al Wilson]

More carbon and 2-litre turbo but crippling student finance is slightly delaying the process! GSi way can certainly look very good!

[Mike.]

i don't know what there problem is they should go out and catch the twats that steal our cars and burn them out

[General Baxter]

there looking for use to so they can put a little star on there chart back at the station

kinda like browine points :lol:

[Al Wilson]

Open rant - 3 POINTS FOR A LOSE BATTERY! - Close rant.

Feel better now :D

[Mike.]

thats it :D

[General Baxter]

i bet the copper who nicked you got 3 stars on the wall for that one
:P

[Mike.]

how did you make them vents in the doors they look different but really effective, i don't think i'd do that i'm just curious really

[Al Wilson]

Probably got special treatment in the pig shower room as well.

Vents were just a case of cutting mate, not very difficult at all.

[Mike.]

ok

[epo]

ive painted on my dash like the easy removable bits eg glovebox ash tray consols switch housin ect just done bits at a time

[Mike.]

i was thinkin of dotoin just bits at a time, like the are vents and indicator sialks

[epo]

thats all i did just at a weekend bit at a time

[Mike.]

yeh i might do that my cars white any ideas to what colours i should use

[epo]

mines white so inside i used peugeot royal blue and lexus anthracite grey same colour as me bumpers and grill

[Mike.]

i didn't really want to go to bright, i was always thinkin about blue because it goes so well with white

[Cheeze]

if ur still on about dashes heres min, taken a fair while to do but its certianly different http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/3/web/591000-591999/591959_65_full.jpg

[smitty5door]

i would color your in terior either red or blue they both go very well

[Mike.]

i'm not so sure about the red but i have always thought about colour coding the dash with blue, i wouldn't go over bored with the paint tho
