thanks dude

I know i have been slow with updates as of late due to various reasons .. BUT.. I bought some vauxhall tailored car mats & im VERY impressed with the quality well worth the price imo.



Heres a quick pic of the smooth petrol flap (forgot to post it in previous updates lol)


I've also just ordered:

- 4x New wheel arch trims
- Boot release solenoid
- Dimdg carbon interior handles

Also i should have more updates on the re-trimming soon

Door cards look stunning, well done

How do you stick the materiel on so smoothly? Did you have to remove the std stufff underneath?

Jambo, i've simply re-trimmed ontop of the existing material to keep it smooth with a bit of cushion to it. I used some spray adhesive/material glue and stretched the suede as i fixed it.

Lee, its Suede but alacantra would look sweet too imo

cayenne15, thanks mate, good stuff will look good with the spoiler fitted

danny with the door pockets why not spray them yourself..

what was the mterial you used for doing your door cards? as i have a lot of leather vinal which i was thinking of using on my old b (5dr like yours) how hard was it getting the resesses and everything?

Richard, yeah think i'll give the door pockets a quick once over for the shows. i used suede to do the door cards, took some practice to do but as long as you stretch the material and apply pressure to it while the glue sets its fine

Updates:
First off i got sick of my arch trims, fronts had clips broken and the rears had gone all scabby as if they had been sprayed in the past? (see pic in previous post and you can just about see the arch and why it looked crap lol)
so i ordered a new set and got round to fitting them the other day

Drivers side:


Passenger:



looks a lot fresher now so i'm well chuffed.
Other new additions are bonnet lifters: (ignor the puny messy engine lol that needs a lot more work)



And a small dose of camber, idea for this is so i can go lower at the back without any rubbing issues.. not sure if you'll see the full effect in these pics as the sus hadn't settled after jacking the car up




still waiting for my boot popper to be delivered.. been waiting ages for it now then i can crack on with a semi smooth boot
