So if you followed me from my intro thread, I'm getting a restraining order... creep.
If here out of interest, welcome!
So, to recap, got a 5-door 1.4 petrol as my first, in great shape, but gotta make it custom, yo.
So, since money is tight (as always), bits and bobs on the interior is a cheaper start.
So, started of by buying a super sporty gear knob, top quality from ebay user carlab-design-tuning, quality product if a little pricey, but no regrets.
Since the displays are orange, and retro, decided to add more orange everywhere, starting with the centre facia. And some industrial grey.
Also, carbon fiber vinyl, to make everything super light and fast.
And a lovely new radio, also carbon fiber and light. Had to get adapters 'n stuff.
New speakers were also a must, 'cause the stock ones were crap and since I'm young, gotta annoy some neighbours y'know.
6" Vibez. Needed rewiring.
Rear mounts needs to be modified to fit my fat beats (with neighbours rough jigsaw, but meh, outta sight outta mind)
TYPICAL BRITISH AUDIO BRAGGIN' ABOUT BRITISH AUDIO. ITS GOOD QUALITY, WE GET IT.
F*cked up one speaker cover, so I left it out in the rain to think about what it had done.
But there ain't no (rain) stopping this (pain) train.
(Yes there is a garage, but its not mine, and full of garage junk. #nogaragelife)
After a few mishaps and reattempts, finished product :
Also seat covers.
Removed seats to properly install them. Also centre dash. Found some old irish punt.
And here is what I'm at now, rather risky, but only time will tell (watching paint dry, amirite?)
Moar to come
