Title: Project change the gaitor turing into nightmare lol/
Post by: jnufcuk on 01 June 2011, 16:35
What i thought would be a simple 10min job has turned out to be a nightmare. That bloody little clip is driving me mad lol. Then while doing that im attacking the wood trim as my new black surround just turned up so would prob be a good idea to concentrate on one thing at a time as im not a woman  :wink:

Best get back to it otherwise it will never get done  :grin: Next up tackle the radio, cd player before i can put the new surround in  :smiley:

EDIT: Just taken some of the wood trim off and im sure someone has tried to glue the bits on and not done a very good job at it either. Everything is so sticky the buttons hardly work lol Luckily i got other car to swap the bits over  :grin:

After all my hard work with the gaitor ive decided just to buy the whole unit as it will look better  :smiley: Plus the actual gear stick wasnt in the best of conditions after  :grin:

Think I have one similar to this as well. Cheap but they are a good build quality and look good.
