Not really brendy. As you say we all have are own personal choices when it comes to cars.

I wouldn't be one to stick a Porsche Turbo badge onto a 16v but i wouldn't turn down any Porsche breaks are the likes.

I just shot myself in the foot there with that comment about you owning standard cars opps.

Any how its an acquired taste.

Hows the Vrs going?

Going great guns, nearly 2k on her and loving cross country runs to work. Even out of the factory it wasnt std, the 18"s, hids, cruise etc were options!
Callipers are really a different subject as they are less obvious. Im just not keen on anything that carries another marques tag (unless like vag it has the vw/audi/seat/skoda stamp under the bonnet). It seems to happen prodominently with vw's. The likes of Toyota/lexus etc doesnt seem as popular.

Yeah wonder who can retrim them, maybe in leather?

 

[Ghost]

Also wondering about changing the colour of the roof lining?

is it possible to spray it? or does it HAVE to be retrimmed ?

 

[dubsport]

Also, want the roof lining of the car and dark grey or black. Any ideas how to do this? Would spraying it be sufficient?

Would also like to know who is good at this, althou would want it done properly as spraying would be a bit ropey, lol

Alcantara finish on mk4 above is nice touch

 

[Ghost]

Yeah was thinking that, dont have a clue. Fancied trying a spray job myself tomorrow, but only if it will look good

 

[dubsport]

The word 'OVERSPRAY' comes to mind - inside of the car will be covered by the time ur finished - nice drug dealer blacked out windows included , lol

 

[Ghost]

Hmmmm thats true, myself and chunkerz tried to do the roof of our previous cars, but turned out to bubbbley.....Worth a try tho i suspose again.

 

[dubsport]

Wel if your thinking of changing it anyway then wats the worst that can happen, lol

Take a few pics and post them up if you go for it

 

[Ghost]

Hmmm yeah, going to call into a few places tomorrow first tho, like the spinning wheel and other fabric shops and see what they reckon or suggest !

 

[focus_rs_jonny]

Baxter my wheel is very nice but there is no airbag in it.

 

[Ghost]

is it the same as in the pic on pg 1 matey?

 

[focus_rs_jonny]

No. Its the 3 spoke one from a 996 Turbo. Its from the individual collection and has three aluminium sections. Only changed it for a plain black one. It immaculate

 

[Ghost]

Hmmm any pictures by chance? did u have it in the rs?

 

[focus_rs_jonny]

@Baxter - if you take the headlining out of the car and spray it with an aerosol
itll be sweet

[chunkerz]

[Ghost]

well the roofs abit grim, and also after being in therocks gti, and seeing the headcloth, im jealous and reckon it will look good.

@ Chrismac - Yeah i thought it would be ok, may just tape of the window area etc

@Chunk - Shush, it was terrible, and you couldnt have done it without my help haha

 

[chunkerz]

[Ghost]

[Chris Mac]

[Ghost]

[Resintooth]

[Ghost]
