Title: Interior trim ideas
Post by: Perryd84 on 17 January 2013, 10:29

Thinking of changing up the fake wood look trim in my golf but not sure what colour or style to go?

Just wondered what people on here have done to get an idea of what looks good and what looks awful?

Most people go for alumiunm or carbon fibre wrap, plenty of threads on here with pictures.

Was thinking of putting in the r32 brushed aluminum trim but was hoping for some inspiration to do something bit different

I rubbed my wood trim down and painted them dark silver...

brushed alli wrap (looks sh!te when you see it next to gen stuff)
carbon fibre wrap (looks sh!te when you see it next to real carbon)
real carbon wraping (i.e paint the trim, then lay one layer of carbon fibre on, then laquer, can get kits for this)
sticker bomb  (90's)
paint a random colour (mates painted his red to match his car, looks smart)
wet and dry the trim to a dull black plastic colour (boring)
decorate it with hello kitty wrapping paper  :grin:

Thanks for the ideas guys the hello kitty idea is very tempting  :smiley:
Think I'm gonna go brushed aluminium, ice white or same colour as the car. Got 2 sets of trim so if it turns out crap I can always put back the very stylish fake wood :nerd:

Hello kitty all the way..

Mine is a dark baby blue lacquered but may change it to a carbon wrap for a more subtle look

My brushed aluminium vinyl looks pretty good to be fair and when are you going to see it next to the real thing?

Looks smart! I got one of them metal GTI plates for the foot rest few months ago but cant figure out how to fit it with out drilling holes through the foot rest?

Also where did you get your boost gauge pod?

Part of me really wants to do it white so it matches the white around the badge on the steering wheel but dunno if it might look a bit odd?!

I just drilled 3 small holes to bolt it down. I used red insulation tape behind the gti logo :)

I fitted net optic trim round the centre console, with flat black pov spec genuine door handles. Polo Gti gear stick and TT alloy pedals. Perfect  :cool:

I ordered all Oem black trim from the stealers so replaced all mine for brand new mat black.
I soon realised thou that you cannot buy the two strips from the center console so I sanded mine back and sprayed them up looks just as good :)
