mate gave me a stickerbomb book, so i put it to use, need to redo the heater dial surround but other than that it went ok, and looks good imo, lot better than the dark wood.

now just door handles to do, and change gear knob

Must be a yoof thing as doesn't do anything for me, the imagery is fine but it just doesn't gel with the interior of the car at all.  It's just too funky and conflicts with the dullness of the MK4 interior.

Probably work better on the insides of something like the new Mini or Fiat 500.

Basically nice idea wrong car.

No offence taken, as most MOT chaps I know are very likeable, humorous and generally cool individuals, so I'll take it as a compliment.  Cheers :smiley:

But no, I'm a Designer so pretty opened minded but opinionated about other peoples creativity.  It just looks like somebody has stuck stickers over the dash that don't belong there and doesn't tie in with any kind of overall theme.  Looks alien in the environment and some other b*ll*cks I can think of.

It only looks out of place too you atm Nige, its not my cup of tea either.

It pretty much is stickers just being stuck on. But I like things that stand out and are often very lairy lol!!

But he could end up doing that too the whole dash? That would be something special  :wink:

Yup, apply a similar theme throughout and some other colour coding otherwise it does just literally look 'stuck on' and out of place.  But hey it's his car so his bag, but that's my opinion and opinions is what he wants. :smiley:

I like it and i think it would look alot better if you did other things like that too!

Post by: Jimmy Filth on 03 February 2011, 11:57
he does say he's doing the heater surrounds and door handles....

what colour is your car out of interest?

yoof, lol, i wish, 30 years young

i was a bit doubtful when i was doin it but was thinking its easy to clean off if i dont like it. wherry, i wont be goin overboard and doin more of the dash, even though its very addictive, looking at things in the house and fighting the temptation to sticker them, lol

nige, i know your right about it looking out of place right now, but it looks better than the wood and theres more to come (dont worry, not gonna look like a halfords showroom)

vw prime, the bit above stereo is the eq for the oe amp, factory fitted, cant take it out or put new stereo in as it means i have to change the wiring and speakers, luckily it sounds decent, dsp system i think its called

jimmy, my cars blue

it's a good looking car and a massive improvement over the wood.  I also think it goes well with the exterior colour.

the pics dont show he scratches and dints, not the worst ive had but not as good as id like it. plus the new scrape in the front bumper my lass made  :angry: hit a 406 in asda car park

thank you for the kind comments :smiley: was expecting more people not to like it

gods anger i like yours, looks like its done a lot better than mine, but think the door handles are a bit to ott for my taste, im gonna just be covering the wood bits, but out of interest, how did the stickers on the handles wear with everyday use?

Personally dont like it atall. Looks right out of place in my opinion

Modifying has and always be an individual thing though, so as long as you like it who cares.

Dark wood goes alright with beige interior  :lipsrsealed:
