Right ive managed to get a couple of more bits done again today!!!!

First off ive sorted a long runnning issue i had with my steering colum, safe to say its now tight n i have a steering lock again

Second on the list of things to do was sort the plastics out,

The problem with fitting new bit it makes the old stuff look shit so my door handles n pockets came back off the door cards n have been treated to a halfords freshen up



I didnt want them to be shinny i just wanted them to look fresh







Quick scrub in warm soapy water n then on with the paint





They have come up really well to be fair

After a quick brew i fitted them n moved on to fitting the rear c pillar trims that have just been re-trimmed (thanks rich)





they look spot on especially when you think no 1 ever see's them

And finally on to the job i really haven't been looking forward to taking the back seats out so i can fit the side bolsters



(for got to take any more pics) but i just managed to get it all done befor the light went!!!

i will stick some pics up tomorrow if i get chance to take some

Cheers jay

Todays tiny update is a carbon fiber trim panel for the door cards,





What do you guys think?

Please bear in mind its only a mock 1 to see if it would work so its rather rough round the edges n dosent fit as flush as i would like but i think it works quite well
