Hey guys,
anyone know where to find interior trim for a half decent price?
Im looking for the:
drinks holder cover
left & right radio cage trim
climatronic surround
&diagnostic plug cover
Preferably all in black (maybe carbon :s) as I have black grab handles etc
I have the part numbers and just got off the phone with VW dealer the prices were ricockulous :laugh: Also looked on ebay but cant get all the parts I need in one colour.
Cheers
James

What did they quote you out of interest?
Drinks cover, diagnostic port and climatronic surround should be around £5 each
The side parts - what have you currently got fitted? One option would be to spray them yourself :smiley:
-
im going for around the £300 mark..
-
I have a brand new black drinks holder cover that you can have for £10 posted. PM me if interested.
To confirm it is just the front cover, not the complete holder assembly.
-
yeah done mine with spray paint even my handles and ashtray cover did them in aluminium from halfrauds heres an idea for you just put plenty of lacquer on them ive done the drinks holder front to but its not in pic :wink:

the side parts are the tricky thing. I have the wood effect.. but the left one is missing!

Pretty good guess!
The dealers wanted £87.60 for EACH side trim! £61 for the cup holder cover!!... I stopped him there, thanked him and got on with my work :)

I am interested but I need to see is I can get the side bits in black first otherwise I may go for a dif colour all together. Cheers though
I may have to go trudging round some breakers at the weekend

there are so many different wraps on ebay which one did you use as you think its easy to do??
-
3M do vinyl, probably the best stuff in the industry to, they do they carbon effect vinyl as well, done the whole dash in my old civic looks spot on once you get it right! Very easy to use and very forgiving, no matter how bad you muck it up just reheat it back to shape and go again.
-
sweet cheers for that, will get some ordered and start experementing lol!!

Net optic trim currently at £16. Just remember you will need to get the radio cage with the removable trim for the net optic to go on as well.
-
I have the wood trim already, Just bought new wood set of everything just to get one missing piece ( left radio cage)
But got some 3M Vinyl to cover it! Was the cheapest and hopefully will look ok :p
heres mine with the 3m di-noc :smiley:
(http://i759.photobucket.com/albums/xx238/lewisf241288/IMG_2066.jpg)
I think thats awesome! any tips or just pretty self explanatory?
Also just bought new gaitor and gear knob for <£15 :p
-
Thouroughlly degrease the surface before applying the vinyl, heat slightly to get the vinyl to wrap round curves, and to set the vinyl off completley it needs to be heated to 80 degrees (heatgun), after it has been heated to this temp it will set off and you wont be able to manipulate it any more. If you dont set it off it will slowly peel/shrink back to its orignial shape after a few weeks.

Wellll I ran out of vinyl due to the awkwardly shaped pieces! I can live with it black for time being.
Nah didnt do handles. I have them in black to and it looks alright.
