Tom Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 A big thanks to Wayne for the leather gaitors and another big thanks for Nic for the facelift rear lights, I've been working on my interior for a while now, I've sprayed the dash to a gloss black and the prepping time on this was well worth it, this coupled with the new gatiors makes the dash look new again! Check out the pics! Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 I needed to shave a lot of the existing handbrake off to fit the new one to get a nice fit, the gaitors were a bit of a pain, the gear surround was the biggest as the older gaitor from factory is melted to the to the surround and 2nd time around it didn't look feasable so I glued it instead as this works just as well. the prepping of the dash took ages though, but I knew that any minor bit I had missed would show up once painted so I kept going over and over with sanding until perfectly smooth.

lockys96 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 if that spraying finished, it doesnt look very good in my opinion. best left to the pro's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 yep it's finished, I'll be honest with you, it was hard taking pics that do the parts justice, clearly I've failed there! but it does look real good in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
