Title: What modifactions have you done...
Post by: Egg On Toast on 06 November 2011, 12:55
...to your interior?

I'm starting to modify the GTI now as I think I deserve it :p I know what to do to the outside, but I'd like some ideas on the interior :)

I was looking for some green colour concept seats but I'm gathering they are hard to come by and really pricey! How easy is wiring in black heated leathers?

Any ideas will be considered :)

The black pillar's are a nice touch along with matching headlining.

black pillars as said is a nice mod but buying them is expensive as f**k, better to paint the old ones thats on my list of things to do :) also as already said black carpet and headlining is also a nice touch but I'd say really you need matching seats and door cards, preferably leathers  :cool:

This might sound stupid... but my GTI already has black carpets and door cards

Do what you think will look good. I'm going cream suede headlining rather than the usual black, and you wont have to mess about with pillars/visors etc. I've all I've got otherwise is chrome door pulls and pins, chrome heater dials (although not to everyones taste), Ive sprayed my stereo surround and rear tweater pods flash red, along with red stitched gear and handbrake gaitor and it looks spot on imo. Ties it into the exterior coach strip and calipers nicely I think.  :smiley:

I'm thinking I should probably match the interior with the exterior in a sense... like I'll be going for the camo look, so maybe a camo head lining?

If you want to keep it standard to mk3 but different the red and black checked anniversary interiour is a nice touch

Only highlines and colour concepts had black ABC pillars.

No mk3s ever had black roof lining....

thinking about it I've never seen a black headlining, dunno why I thought highlines had them. Get some spray paint on it  :wink:

how did you shorten the gear stick. did you just cut it down?
Title: Re: What modifactions have you done...
Post by: Seanl on 08 November 2011, 22:01
I did it too. Cut about 2 inches off with a pipe cutter, then rethreaded it with a m12 (I think) die. Simples! :smiley:
