Chrome wiper blades will be a pain in the sun, trust me I made the same mistake years ago with my Mini.

Ordered two red leather dye kits which equals 300ml in total and now I know I needed 600ml lol, so just need to finish a little on the seat back and then do the seat base. Progress so far.....











Just need to black the rest of the side trims and they can go in :D

Once done I'll use a colour sealer to stop it scuffing etc.....

Just done the black last night at 10.30 with the flood lights on, no wind at all.



Painted speaker grilles and the carpet pieces, also built up centre frame with red lite switches and ciger lighter.

Well the dye is on order so should be to long and then I'll give it a rub with leather sealer, then on the look out for leather 3 door front seats and leather Beetle hoop headrests. Think finding the door cards will be harder but I'll grab them when I see them, might need some Cabrio colour concept ones and dye the the red bits above the arm rests black so only the arm rest are red on a totally black door card. Then get the door handles and door pull surrounds covered in red leather. ;)

Anyway, just fitted door and main dash switches, green for red lite and swapped the blue Airbag for a black one.



Switch on the left is the Corrado spoiler one and looks crap (so new blank needed) which I have the Corrado bezel, so I'll fit it into the replacement black dash between steering wheel and drivers door under main light switch ;)
