It really is my favourite thing on the car now lol.
Can't wait to do the door cards

There was a couple tiny ripples but they're un-noticeable but I'm a bit miffed they're there but others won't notice unless I point it out.

Need to get the sun visors black now somehow.

You can get vinyl paint for the sun visors, I've never used it so can't vouch for it being any good.

Top gaitors on the bay of e, where I got my gear and armrest covers from do leather covers for them. Make sure you get stitching to match your seats though ...

Thanks.
Looking at them I don't know if the grey stitching will go with the grey in my car :/

Was thinking of getting the leather gear gaiter but didn't fancy the smooth leather so gonna look into some options.

Might have to you know!
Then touch the wires together for it to dim!

General question now.
What colour is the reverse feed for the reverse lights?
Need to take a feed off that so it doesn't dip when reversing at night

The wiring for the auto-dimming mirror was done today along with getting the headlining, pillar trims, parcel shelf and back seats in.





I'm glad I didn't do the pillar trims black, I really like the contrast it gives along with the light and volumetric sensor.


May try the grey sun visors and grab handles a while and see if they are any good like that or need changed.

Still haven't sealed up the scuttle though :/
