Looks good and its the best colour, although I'm biased

Love the GTB seats with half leather/half cloth...

[CRUISN]

Nice one Jim.

[Cam.]

Up the Gen3's!

Awesome stuff dude.

[Hezath]

Nice one. Certainly shame about the slushbox but that can be addressed.

Good looking cars. Gonna bring it down a bit?

[Jimbo]

Nah, it will stay stock as a rock apart from upgrading things which get worn out. Want it to look as original as possible.

[Jimbo]

Tonights project!

Before :



After :



Not bad for a first attempt! Heat from a good old fashion hairdryer made it very easy!

Car looks good.
Neat job with the wrap too. I couldn't do that colour though as I would be retarded enough to ruin that wrap with 6 different dirty marks the first time I drove it again.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but is that similar to the brushed aluminium B4 trim?

[Jimbo]

Yeah, considering the rareness of the silver trim for an auto, i figured a $10 roll of brushed aluminum look vinyl would be a more ... economical solution!

Stuff works well, it's a little tricky but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. The piece i thought would be the easiest ( shifter surround ) turned out to be the hardest so far. I think i did okay! Im about to tackle the main stereo surround now!

[Harry88]

Looks awesome!

[Josh.]

Looks good.

 

Did you buy brand name vinyl or just cheap eBay spec stuff?

[Jimbo]

Last one now finished. What a job! Main fascia wasn't too bad, cup holder was the hardest bit, having to pop off the cap and wrap that too   

Pics up tomorrow of it all installed.

@ Josh, just some cheap ebay stuff http://www.ebay.com....984.m1439.l2649

[Jimbo]

Something i overlooked LOL the brushed aluminium grain is running downwards on the fascia and across on the gear surround. Whoops. Gives off different lighting on each piece. Shit.

[Morgan]

Haha yep. That would piss me offf

 

Looks good from here though. 

[nickknack]

Nice. Jealous of your rear window wiper haha

[Josh.]

Hopefully it doesn't lift and crease in the sun like most cheap vinyls.

Nice. Jealous of your rear window wiper haha

All wagons have rear wipers though.. Haha

[Beckers]

That switch Nick is talking about is a front windscreen heater switch, stops wiper blades freezing to the screen.

 

Can anyone confirm this ??
