First job was to get a new coolant bottle in as the one in there was just filthy

The new bottle nice and cleannnn

Quick 5 min job to take old one out. Was a bit scared as first approach to the 4 mo engine.. First of many

Got new one in

Next was time to get a new headunit in. As the gamma unit just does not do it for me. Had my alpine in for a few days ..

I felt that the hole needs to be filled so took out the alpine and useless cubby hole and replaced with a kenwood double din unit which matches the mk4 dash lights nicely and finishes it off

Will have daylight shot later on. Have some fli underground speakers lying around too but aint got the time to fit them yet

Next i just had to do something about the horrible wood trim. So i sourced my self some brushed alluminium vinyl. striped out all the interior parts an tried getting close as i could to the r32 look.

This was my first time ever doing this so was a bit spectical

Started with side strips as they looked fairly simple.

Then slowly made a go on the other bits after a very good outcome. It turned out to be very easy to do

Few shots show the quality of the brushed effect vinyl really do think looks like the real stuff

After succesfull outcome with centre console i made start on the ashtray which was a fookin pain to do but got there after 3 attempts ..

Was happy with centre console after. Bye bye wood trim

Made a start on the passenger and drivers door handle. Was simple to do

Next i need to do something about the gearknob but still in 2 minds which one to go for or repaint 4 motion gearknob

Have orderd some euro number plate surrounds and legall dubmiester pressed plates.

Had red poly bushes fitted week ago at MIDLANDVW. Sorry no pics as have to stay in waiting area while poly bushes where being fitted

Awesome place and great guys there. Very happy with the feeling of the car now feels more stiff without the nasty vibration the yellow poly bushes give. Also got news that my drivers cv joint is knocking and the drivers brake disc is fooked. So better get saving

Im going to get the middle box removed from the resonated miltek cat back as its just too quiet even with the awesome v6 engine sound. So will get the box removed to get a nice grunt

Looking at also creating my own induction kit by using pipercross cone filter and creating a heat shield. Future plans.

Put some interior leds in today. Just need wait for the rear t5 bulbs to come and get them in.. I believe i will have to mod the t5 bulbs to get them in the rear interior reading lights.
