  1. Few more bits done last week :)


    Wrapped the lower dash pieces - absolute pain in the ass to wrap them, not 100% happy with the outcome so will redo them when I get more material

    Its amazing how much darker the cabin is now with a black headliner.

     

    I received my carbon fibre skinning kit today so tomorrow is carbon fibre trial day :)

     

    I should be back in work next week so that should see the loosening of the purse strings a bit even though the wife has her eye on more home improvements :thumbdown:

    How difficult was wrapping the material? What kind of adhesive did you use? I havnt done it before so its a bit daunting :scare:

     

    It wasnt too bad TBH, some bits are really fiddly and the more I've done the better I am getting at it :) I might strip off some of the bits I have already done and redo them once my new adhesive arrives,

     

    This is the stuff I was using, its about 10 years old, so I am surprised its stuck :lol:

    I've done both sides of the upper dash, I've got the lower dash partially done but need more spray. The centre console "waterfall" will be done in Carbon

  3. I'll start by saying I am not an audio guy at all, I listen to music in my car but I'm not an audiophille by any means.

     

    I've stripped my interior ready to install sound deadening - This is to make the car more comfortable and quiet for my daughter rather than to improve sound quality of the stereo. So, while I am doing this, is there any benefit in just replacing the speakers or best to stick with the BOSE ones?

     

    I'm not looking to do a full install, I dont want any massive subs or amps.

     

    I have zero experience with audio other than replacing head units, would I need to replace the wiring if I did replace the speakers?

  4. Still on furlough and still no sign of a return to work which means any real spending is still on hold :(

     

    I have managed to get on with a few little things this weekend though. I've always hated the quality of the plastics in the cabin so had a go at wrapping a few panels in suede earlier :)

     

    Only done the passenger side A-Pillar, Both arm rests and the two rear strut parts so far. Should get a few more bits done tomorrow with the left over material I have :) Plan is to have a nice mix of suede and carbon fibre (proper carbon not the cheap stick on/hydro tat)

    Thanks for the reply, I'm not in need of a exhaust anymore, I purchased a GReddy RS race back in December, but I may I know someone who's wanting to buy? How much are you selling it for? And I assume it's on decent condition? And again thanks for the reply!

    Have you got any sound clips of the greddy? I’m torn between that and another Tomei

    Interesting reading. Mine is booked in for the V3 supercharger. They fit an intercooler but I do t know if it's a std intercooler or whether a higher spec Intercooler would get more out of the F.I., should I request a better intercooler?

    I think you should have done a lot more research before you sent your car off for it to be installed. 
     

    who’s doing the installation?
