Fell asleep reading this last night. Lovely car. Great progress with.

Must feel good with some much DIY!

Shame about the shoody air install, that earthing made me cringe!

Keep it up

it makes me love the car more knowing that I've done it all myself

Well finally finished the interior, few bits i'm not happy with and will redo at one point, but running out of time, but then again you're always over critical on your own work!



Got round to sealing the wheels this weekend, need to find a different wheel cleaner as i've found out i can't use bilberry, so need to find one polished friendly..



I sealed them with wolfs chemical rim sealant



Also the wheels need a decent polish at one point, but again i have no time before UD

Now onto the interior... it is darker than it is in the pictures, but the light was bad so the photos didn't come out very good

Love the stance and those rims are sweet really nice looking motor  What spray did you use on your interior bits as Ive been painting some of mine and found the grab handles a right mare to paint Ive been using VHT.Love the head lining to one of my next jobs looks mint..

The paint i used was black satin :

Came out pretty OEM looking, but I'm still going to look around for skoda / lupo interior parts to replace in the future

With it all black it feels a lot smaller / sportier, i absolutely love it  However every time i rearrange all the suede to the same direction, a friend or my girlfriend will write something in it or mess it up lol

Right then.. I've finished the air install, and i'm extremely happy!!!



Colour match of the carpet:

I used furniture foam underneath it to give it a cushioned feel, it makes an awesome seat now!!

All done by myself 

Nothing beats a good old DIY..
