New sig looks fresssssh

Cheers mate!

Going to look at getting/ordering glue tomorrow for the abc pillars and other trim. Got new visors and grab handles to spray too. Hopefully crack on with that next week.

I'm going to just paint the headliner, most likely black. Take it out and roller it.

Sweet man, my mate used Copydex and it was spot on i painted my sun visors in the 'state black, just don't dry them with your lasses hair dryer and make the glue underneath bubble i'm going to try and strip my interior out this weekend can't stand the cream!

It all comes out the same hole

I use the cheapest I can find, never had a problem and never noticed a difference in mpg or performance in either this car or my Golf previously.

(my old 16v ran 163.6bhp on tesco 95, should have tried with 99 tesco and shell )

That's very optimistic for a standard-ish car, what mods did it have? 

Just a full exhaust, got the same reading from 2 different rolling roads.

Cool, I'll be popping to Cromwell to see what they got to offer. Get good discount and I end up talking about cars, so all good.

Got some new rears seats too, out of a TDI GL model, so rear headrest's! Just need some front seats, then get the lot re-trimmed by Stu's mum! Just need to source some material I like for the seats. Black +

not sure where else to look for fabric thats relatively cheap!

Yer, with the headliner you need really light, thin material for it to stay up over time and I just want it black (or maybe pink ) so I'm just going to roller it.

Pillars and maybe a few other bits will be re-trimmed and maybe the parcel shelf if I have enough (I got a spare one out the TDI).

I think mine camo material is very similar to chuff's, remember seeing and thinking he was a copycat, then I realised he wouldn't have seen my material that's sat in the bottom of my cupboard would he?

If u need a second bod to hold stuff or make tea or whatever, give me a shout as I was looking to do mine and it would be good to see what u do with regard to the type of material. Really don't have a clue with that sort of thing!

Should have our shack soon, so will be down there working on his car and the VR.
