thanks dude and already i do, im thinking of scrapping the whole idea of buying a TT next year as they are loosing money like nobodys business. I may just carry on making the NA look perfect, im thinking dress the engine bay up loads, wire tuck and possibly na-t. And im going to make the old girl look how i wanted my tt to look like from the outside and if a TT apears at the right money i will just transfer it all accros.

 

the na-t or na-tt would only come after everything else

thats pretty much what I did works out more expensive but then you have the car exactly how you want it and you appritiate it more I think. I would go na-tt if you think you may want a big single in the future or if not then id probably go na-t

see i was originally going the na-tt route but i decided against it and tbh its still not my ideal route. All the major ££ being spent on this can be moved to the next build so thats probably what i will do but im just going to way my options up again in a few months time.

 

But its builds like yours and marc's that make me think why not go the conversion route

Got the dash panels back from the paint shop and unfortunately I'm not happy so they are going of there again,

 

I had them done in matt black and the black is far to dark and glossy for what I wanted, I know that sounds stupid being black but I know what I mean :p

 

So this time they are getting painted more of a dark grey, the black just didn't look close enough to stock for my plans, anyway here is some pic of them test fitted, you would think looking at them that they where pretty much scrap a few weeks back.

The white bits you can see is just dust by the way.

Above is the comparison of stock and the painted black.

they used the wrong black IMO.

 

if you check my pillar pod build the paint came up the same as stock dash. ask them what paint they used

My dad just mixed the greyest of the two black he had on the sceme but he goning to custom mix me one now so it should look better. Its my own fault i did say black but im a picky sod and now i want it greyer :)

 

also your pillar pod looks spot on!
