A couple of things please gents & ladies...........
Anyone have any good ideas of what to do with the 'hole' in the top of the dash (it would be covered in normally with a double din), has anyone turned it into anything interesting?
Does anyone know of a wooden gear knob that would fit directly onto the mk4? such as this

Around my centre console, it looks a bit tatty and worn, I've seen that you can buy 'wooden trim' to stick on top of the original, has anyone else done this? (you can get brushed ally or carbon, but I'd like to go down the wood effect route) such as this

Any ideas comments really appreciated
PS its a tight budget I'm on here!! :rolleyes:

If you still have the standard head unit fitted then a 6 disc CD changer will fit in there nicely.
As for the Gear knob the GTi came with them

your the first person ive met that likes wood ive covered mine with brushed alli vinyl..
-
The dark mertyle wood isnt that bad, Better than the one that looks like it came out of a Rover :rolleyes:
-
mine was dark and i hated it lol wood belongs in a rover or a jag lol
-
I dont mind the dark one (But I am getting old now! :laugh:) Brushed Alli one is better though :cool:
-
tech can i ask were u got your brushed vinyl from plz..
-
Hmm, did look at the brushed ally, but every chavved up corsa seems to have that stuck in it (no offence intended here chaps), I just wanted it to be a little different, and thought the wood would look good with a wooden gear knob, and, as you say, its definitely the DARK wood.
Don't want to go mad and start sticking it on the door handles etc, just round the front facia. Eventually, I'd like biscuit leather in her as well, so should complement it I think
:undecided:

I got my vinyl from a chap on here but haven't spoke to him in a while.. It was 3m tho..
You should have no trouble buying wood trim as most get rid not long after buying..
-
The Dark wood Gear knob or one from a Beetle sport would look good, Also how agout the "net optic" trim instead of wood for around the facia?

'NET OPTIC'?????? never heard of that............please enlighten me..........
-
Its a sort of Cabon effect looking trim that was normally found in the Bora's
-
and can be rubbed back for brushed aluminium look..
-
Where can I find such wonderful stuff? can't seem to see it on ebay
-
No there's no net optice on ebay at the minute. I am looking every day for it to come on there. i need all the centre console parts. I've got the four handles, but i've had them a while. no luck with the rest.
