started taking out interior tonight. changing everything to black. got colour concept A,B,C pillars and passat grab handles and cabrio 3.5 visors. got proper black fabric spray for headlining. and other ebits and bobs will spray matt black.

one job i need to do while roof is out, is wire up the lighted sunvisors i have. i have a picture of the wires by the sunroof motor and light wires. dunno if anyone cud help me what i need to tap into to work the vanity lights on the sunvisors?





also! theres a screen wipe thing wedged between the motor at roof!!

i do have a loom of sorts with the visors which have plugs on, maybe it would help if i had a picture of that?

last week, i brought a golf mk4 sunglasses holder that goes by the drivers grab handle, took a gamble that it would fit, and it does! brillaint for 99 p on ebay from hong kong or summit. holes line up perfectly, doesnt look out of place either. it will be sprayed black and will blend in perfectly, quick pic:



will be doing lots of spraying during the week, and will hopfuly start putting back together weekend. while roofs out, going to replace arial base, as receptions isnt great and i brought brand new booster few months back.

also. while im typing this, the box im tying in keep jumping up few lines and i cant actuily see wot im typing, i have to keep stopping and going back up to check ive written ok, anyone know why this is?

thanks, liam

If Id have known you would be sticking the Vento grille on an Anni I would never have sold you it!   :grin:

Only kidding.  Car looks nice.  :smiley:

I could have given you the UK part number for the bracket (and srew covers) to hold the US centre console as I've had one on for the last 2 years.   :smiley:

 Lewisf1988-DUB : yeh i used a midnight black dye from fabicspray.co.uk

wireZ: no problem m8, its not a urgent thing, when ever you have time, cheers

16v_blu: thanks, im chuffed to bits with it. its dark as a bag inside now tho lol. thats half the reason i did it, the cars black with the red anni parts, so its just follows the facory theme inside more.
