Since I got my car I've hated the half black half sh!tty beige interior. Over the last week I had the a,b,c pillars out n painted them black! Well impressed with how they turned out!
I also covered my head lining with black felt that sets it all of just nice!
Now just need to source some black sun visors, black interior light and black grab handles to finish it all off.

Pictures a bit poop but what u guy think?!
-
much better, what did you use to paint them with?
-
Quite easy to be honest! Sand it down, Upol plastic primer, the hammerite satin black! That stuff sticks to anything! Taken a hour or so each night, n left it in the shed over night then throughout the day n cos it's been so hot the shed turned into a makeshift oven so the paints got a good finish on it.

Well done,i like that :smiley:
-
Looks really good :afro:
-
good effort :cool:
got any closer/clearer pics of abc pillars?
-
That looks mint, how hard is it to cover the head lining? :wink:
-
That looks good :D
I've been wondering about doing the same with mine at some poiny, in my case I was going to use this stuff called Brillo Spray-On Plastic Dye (nothing to do with brillo pads as far as I can see) and this american carpet/upholstery spray on black dye.
Dont know how it would turn out mind, too much bodywork stuff to get done to even think about the interior just atm.
Chief :)

Looks great, a massive improvement :afro:
Going off on a bit of a tangent here so bear with me....you've described it as a modified interior which got me thinking.....when you make changes like this to the interior is it actually classed as a modification? I.e. should you notify your insurance company? :undecided:
Feck knows why I just thought of that :grin:
-
That looks really good been meaning to do something simlar myself I was thinking Black pilars with a red head lining :grin: but Ive fell out off love with my mk3 and cant be arsed now :grin: As for the insurance cant see why you would need to even mention it only a colour change.
-
Good point about insurance though, you never know with some insurers...
Why dont you paint your grab handles black aswell?
-
Or get some black ones from a Passat.

nice! will be doint this today (hopefully) i got the highline ABC pillars and got black grab handles from the b3 passat (go to ukpassat forum) £20 ebay they going for £50, the sunvisors can come from the b3 passat again and the interior light switch in black? keep dreaming! i am having a right nightmare finding one, other thing is get the black interior light and get the sunroof switch from the corrado and put i nect to it.
