Cheers Kev your bits are almost done just need a quick clean up

Cheers Mate

yep its the same type just black

Cheers Dave, wanted to do it black in the first place and as the glue failed that was all I needed

Cheers Andy
As for carbon Wings tbh its a bit big for me matey would be worth giving Xsport a call though am sure they will be able to sort you out

Hi Paul
No probs, next time
tbh I was in a right mood with the sat nav fucking about, took me 2 and a half hours to get there and an hour and 20 mins to get back without the shitty sat nav

might pick the bits up on my bike as we come down your way(bury hill iirc) at the weekends when the weathers ok

Well you'll be getting some cash from me anyway so it's a start lol.

Simmo

iTrader: (20)

Sounds like a bit of a nightmare!

Let me know mate... Bury Hill's only up the road from me!!!

That headlining looks amazing and after looking at mine today I might have to do it before the interior goes in... where did you get the fabric from and how easy is it to do?

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

it was mate,came back through petworth so was a lot quicker

the headlining is very easy mate took me about 20 mins to get it out of the car and about an hour to retrim, if you want to do it in grey send moonstone Steve a pm as he got me the grey stuff last time

oh and if you do retrim it make sure you use some of the trim tape in the rear to stop the card backing sagging, you will see what I am on about if you take it down


This is the stuff I have used came with the glue

Well after seeing a couple in black i'm tempted to carry on with the whole black 'n' white thing but it's possibly only going to have a full interior in it for a year or so before I turn it into a track car... so not sure it's worth going 'too' mad, lol

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

Track car wtf
but if the roof lining need doing then why not
might as well do it while its apart


Got the c pillar trims back in with some new clips


and the guy thats doing the flocking has said its all done so will pick it up on friday afternoon and add some pics when its all back together cant wait

fezzajsy

iTrader: (9)

that looks very nice,well worth doing

Bloomers

iTrader: (1)

that looks good chap. does it make the interior feel a little too dark, though?

Spax

Your saph looks amazing, I've got a gloss black 4x4, and it's a little sick, gonna rip it apart soon and sort it all out! love the headlining! might try and recreate it lol! my seats are a little worse for wear tho! keep up the good work

KSA-Cossie

iTrader: (4)

That looks very impressive matt,much nicer black.

CosKev3

Excellent work.
Roof lining and 'C' pillars look spot on,crap colour as standard,allways look grubby IMO.

Simmo

iTrader: (20)

It's clean mate but i'm gonna be scared to use it properly... and each year seems to be harder and harder to use a 'proper' car on the road anyway!

What time are you down on friday mate?... in any rush to get back?

That pic looks spot on mate... great job as usual!!!

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

Cheers its made a huge difference

Nah its fine deffo darker but much better imho

Thanks matey, best get a resto thread up when you start mate it does help to get all the shit work done with comments like yours

Cheers Kev imho it looks soooooo much better

Thank you Kev,
yeah the grey stuff was only 1 year old and looked crappy

Yeah I know what your saying, I have to choose my roads carefully

Should be down mid afternoon ish I think




Also thinking of light smoke tinting the windows but not sure, could look tacky, any thoughts?

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

well I have got all my bits back from flocking and they look amazing







made a start fitting them last night



also made up some MORE carbon this time its was the insids corner trims for the rear doors







will add more pics later when its all fitted back up together

Zetecfiesta

looks very nice!

fezzajsy

iTrader: (9)

so luv the work your doing to the sapph matey

KSA-Cossie

iTrader: (4)

i think a light tint on the windows would look spot on matt

Simmo

iTrader: (20)

They look spot on Matt!!!

And good to see you the other day chap... I knew you'd end up doing something that night, lol!!!

Nad

Matt when you get a second could you send me some daylight photos over of the parts finished, totally forgot to do it myself.

Thanks

Nad

Vic

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

Thanks mate

Thanks matey, yours is looking pretty awesome

Cheers Paul yeah and you matey
Well chuffed with the overall look now. yep got home and went straight back out again to make a start cant leave it alone (the car that is)


yeah no probs David, and thanks again it looks flocking amazing

No mate no flocked dash I had the flocking done by www.nadsautomotivedevelopments.co.uk


Just sorting some more pics

KSA-Cossie

iTrader: (4)

Pah women what do they know,only joking fi

Looking forward to getting mine now after looking at these

Matt Baxter

iTrader: (37)

In some of the pics the sun roof cover looks grey but in the flesh it looks the same colour as the roof lining













Carbon sneaking in the pics






So after all that picture taking I went for a QUICK SPIN its soooo much better, very different to drive as it feel like the roof is about 6" lower but had got used to it within a few miles



I am very happy with the looks think it works well its little bit different but not over the top imo

KSA-Cossie

iTrader: (4)

Looks flocking awesoms matt.
