Ordered two red leather dye kits which equals 300ml in total and now I know I needed 600ml lol, so just need to finish a little on the seat back and then do the seat base. Progress so far.....


Just need to black the rest of the side trims and they can go in :D

Looks good coverage and finish what kit did you go for?

Cheers Mate. :D Been using these kits with many colours available - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280742348647?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_7873wt_1270

Fitted the rear trim as I only need to remove seat base to finish and thats a 5min job.

Well the dye is on order so should be to long and then I'll give it a rub with leather sealer, then on the look out for leather 3 door front seats and leather Beetle hoop headrests. Think finding the door cards will be harder but I'll grab them when I see them, might need some Cabrio colour concept ones and dye the the red bits above the arm rests black so only the arm rest are red on a totally black door card. Then get the door handles and door pull surrounds covered in red leather. ;)

Anyway, just fitted door and main dash switches, green for red lite and swapped the blue Airbag for a black one.



Switch on the left is the Corrado spoiler one and looks crap (so new blank needed) which I have the Corrado bezel, so I'll fit it into the replacement black dash between steering wheel and drivers door under main light switch ;)

Clay bar/wax/re-blacked the trim and cleaned all the glass properly.

And within ten minutes a bird shat on it.. :angry:

Gave it a wash with turtlewax waterless wash n wax system, was pleasantly surprised at the results!




Then topped it off with a fresh coat of nattys paste wax





Well impressed, would recommend for sure! :smiley:

Eventually got round to taking the dodgy boy racer fake roll cage thing out tonight. Surprisingly has transformed the look of the car all together  :cool:
