Righto, tooks some pictures of the dash all inside the car, the air vents, and radio surround top look awesome not 100% happy with the dash strips and centre console, as you can see a few (albeit very little) patches of glue. But this doesnt really matter as its getting sent off to Sean at GarnishDip to get sorted soon.








Also some Xenon white bulbs came yesterday (10) so I fitted 6 of those into the 2 headliner lights, 2, 1 in each door trim, 1 in the boot and have 1 left to go in the glovebox (heard its a glovebox out job so just popped on to see how then it will get done) they dont look too bad for £5.49



Thats it for now, Lowering springs are due to go on at the weekend =]

Wow! Like the look a lot! Well done :thumbup1:

Mate, the interior trim is looking good!

May I ask your method of removing the various bits? I wouldn't mind doing something with my air con vents as they're pretty boring in plain black!

 

[Weo]

Yeah mate, you need something preferably plastic and thin, (credit card) I use a rubber spatula pop it inbetween the vent and dash and gently work it out, go around the vent making sure it comes out evenly.

Once the vent is out there is clips holding the black plastic front to the vent it's self, gently push the clips in and remove the front.

Then cover spray etc as you will

Little up date.

Bought a armrest from Fleabay without propper fixings to the car which was all good for 2 reasons, dont fancy screwing it into my console.... and was cheaper

Anyways I made a stand for it, which uses the 2 bolts in the side near the rear cup holder. Simples really, Am I right in saying the only other method for an armrest is an Armster one at £90+?

anyways i lets the pics do the talking, made the box out of mdf and wrapped it in carbon fibre vinyl for now, got some carpet on the way so it blends in =]












Enjoy!

Will

Edit: Yes the car is flithly, dont fancy cleaning it when its not lifted out of the minus figures for the past week =( and the stitching on the top of the armrest probably was done by a chinese 4 year old but hey! hopefully get it retrimmed soon to match car interior

 

[luke3]

Get it retrimmed and have renaultsport embroided on it!

Looking good mate. I fancy doing this myself. Did you have to cut the sides off the mounting/pivot bracket, and then fix this to your modded mdf mount?
thanks

Will get pics uploaded to here eventually!

But bought these and idea is to get them trimmed up, not 100% sure how yet, photos when I purchased were is so bad condition so I didn't bid much but won the bid picked them up and they were pretty much spanking!!

 

[Weo]

Right change of plan with the evo Recaro's after looking into fitting them its more hard work than anticipated, so may have a potential buyer but if hes not interested by end of the week they will be on ebay.

got some eibach which ive had for ages still to go on the car, probs go on when serviced in june and have my spare centre console sent away being flocked as we speak =)

and a few lil tweaks ive done today from gallery section


"After using some wheel cleaner from "morrisions" stupidly... took the paint off of my diamonds so i resprayed them to match the brembos, im not sure weather i love them or just like them....


Also got some trims fitted, and these dont rattle against the diffuser! Win! think they look pretty cool too.

Fitted a 3/4 front plate as the old one was letting in water but forgot to take a picture.

Anyway shes filthy but heres the little tweaks."









Enjoy,

Will

car looks great mate. like the red diamonds think they a nice touch.arm rest a nice touch too. if im honest was hoping to spray my wheels black n have red diamonds aswell as my car is red. you have done me a favour now can see how it looks

 

[BREENY BOY]

i like the idea of the red diamonds goes really well with the callipers its weird how the smallest of touches makes such a difference

 

[Fernandez]

I like those too, anything a bit different to the norm it's always good

 

[Weo]

Only just saw these replies lol cheers, took the armrest out, however I did like it just felt the use for cup holder more useful ( plus as it was cheap my fat ass broke it when I parked on gf's drive and had to shuffle over to get out passenger side) embarrassing not even fat lol

And I'm still 50/50 on the caps, but like said its diff and it's kinda growing on me, it was red or black...
