I bet, mine won't be done for a loooong time, they look OK from A short distance and I think they're some of most awkward to refurb at home.

Yeah there not the best wheel to do as a home refurb and a sh!t to clean aswell.I done the last wheel last night thank god so thats one job done that ive been meaning to do for some time.Next up is my rear door cards which are still grey as 4 door hatch back door cards dont fit the rears on estates.Ive got a couple of options either try and swap the hatch back door cards ive got as in swap the tops over as thats the difference the hatch back door cards are longer at the top so I was thinking of swapping them over but im not to sure if this can be done?Or I can just buy some dye for the PVC and dye them not to sure what dye to use on the fabric part though anyone know if just normal fabric dye would do the trick?Once ive sorted the door cards it will crack on with the roof lining also.Few pictures of the car sitting on its new coloured wheels thanks for looking...







Couple of better pictures of my new Recaros aswell and as you can see in the back the grey door cards I need to sort...

Small update ive been off work since friday and really wanted to get my door cards painted but with the change in weather I put it off.So today I decided I had to get out the house as I was getting pretty board  :grin: Anyway removed the rear door cards got the hair dryer out in the garage and got spraying these door cards.The results was pretty good and tomorrow ill be moving onto some other bits inside the car like the hand break and rear boot trim.Few pictures of before and after thanks for looking.
