When I got the car I knew there was going to be stuff that I needed/wanted to do. Some because previous owner had bodged it or it was missing/broken/didnt like it.
On the outside I have done quite a bit( will post up separate threads )but this is all on the inside
So decided to teach myself how to vinyl wrap. Never done it before but why the hell not
Came out all right I think on my first attempt.
and all installed in the car
On the outside I have done quite a bit( will post up separate threads )but this is all on the inside
- The rear bench was loose so with help from Rob sourced the retaining clips and installed them
- Bulbs for reading lights- god awful LED bulbs, most of them blown so replaced them with factory
- Retrofitted cruise control. That was a fun upgrade, has to make a hole in the bottom cowling for the extra stalk and teach myself the coding side of OBDeleven but it all worked out well in the end
- replace clutch control switch- that was needed for the cruise control to work
- RS4 pedals install- that was a &*%G£ of a job as the RS4 covers are not as rubbery. Had to remove the accelerator pedal to get that one on
- 3D cupholders. Found some which fitted well. sanded them and painted and now they live in the glovebox when not in use.
- Replace centre console . The original had that silly 90's nokia style phone holder. Looked at 3D printed parts but in the end plumbed for a magsafe holder in the air vent. So there is a whopping big hole where the bracket used to be so sourced a centre console and will be replacing the whole unit when it arrives. In the meantime I discovered why the hands free calling was a bit muffled ( they had hidden the mic behind the trim...odd ) . Anyway was looking to see how I could have both the cable for my phone and the mic present and came up with a genius idea.Remove two buttons not in use, drill out access ( rubber grommet going in soon to tidy it up ) and feed cables back to head unit
- My brushed aluminium trim sadly had a big dent ( probably from passenger putting their fee on the dash.grrr ) so sourced a set of trims. They came pretty bashed up TBH but I wasn't too fussed as knew I would be covering them. These are them from ebay.
