Rieger lip turned up, waiting to get that and few parts back from the paint shop :afro:



On Wednesday I didnt have to start work til 3pm (unloading 2,500 turkeys :laugh:) so my old man gave me a lift down to Essex in his A6 Avant to pick up an interior I saw on eBay!

Thursday started work late again so had the morning to get the interior in, started with this ... lovely  :undecided:





Then with the new seats, door cards and arm rest! I had some spare carbon fibre vinyl so my friend Adam wrapped a few worn prarts on the arm rest for me, looks so good in the cabin now :smiley:





In the process of doing the A, B, C pillars and headlining in black seude. Then added some 15mm rear spacers





Thinking of painting the recess of the valance black and deleting the rear vw badge like this?



Thats it for now!  :smiley:

I really like it,  massive improvement on the inside and the mocked up rear end works a treat. :afro:

Looking forward to seeing the front end fitted as thinking of doing similar to mine.

I bought some fabric spray, it went horribly, horrily wrong  :lol:  so I ripped off the factory material, sprayed the pillars with fabric adhesive and its held really well. Will do the rest when I get a chance.





Hated walking to the car and seeing the clouded up headlights so picked some up from TPS today, big thank you to Matt (mif) for sorting them out for me!  :)





Realised that my shiny door handles didnt really match the 'R36' look im going for so brushed them up, left the 'outline' shiny, think they look really smart!   :)

Looking good :afro:

Personally I'd leave the rear badge on but spray it black to match the recess :wink:
