3FIDDYZ Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Looks good mate. The strut cover. Not the bag. Im waiting for someone to do a gloss black attempt at the center console though... There is one under my carbon cover! It was G/M as it was done by someone before.... Needs some serious rubbing down to get a nice flat surface.... Even though it looked ok, you could still see the remains of the original finnish.... Oh and it chips!! There was one just on ebay US, black alcantara with orange stitching... looked schweet.... And no reflection!!! That does sound sweet with the alcantara, but im a diy kinda guy...! I can imagine the center console chipping too... Jay/Paul - got any plans to combat this? Should be DIY'able to do alcantara if you get the right stuff.... stitching may be an issue.... But not for Jay.... He may have a little kit in his handbag... Or he may have a sewing machine!! Quote
Jay Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Nah i dnt carry that in my bag but your gf does so al just borrow it off her I wouldnt attempt to do the centre dash myself just incase i feck up lol Quote

She said she lends you her lippy and mascara so a borrow of her neddle and cotton should be fine Go on, give it a go, you have done a great job of the other bits so far I got some spare left over from doing my boot lining so can put it in the post to you?

Jay Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Mate my shirt is the one that borrows the lippy and mascara, but hey it washes off What have u got spare mate? Quote
Jay Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 OoOoOo That does look really nice!But i really am sold on the black gloss smoothed dash, plus it will go with the look of the car. Thanks for offering tho bud! Much appreciated Quote
Rob_Quads Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 hmm would love to do the interior trim in alcantara - looks soooo much nicer with it than the plastic look. Any other pics of that car? Quote

I only did the boot space, those bits were quite easy... I stopped at the bit on the top of the speakers!! If I am going to get he rest done it will be by a pro!! Next will be the main centre console... think it goes well with the carbon.... Quote
rtbiscuit Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 A sheet of alcantera. This stuff... how did you do the carbon covering on that rear strut, the only ones i've seen are the ones with the cut out z already done and i heard they don't fit that well. did you ping the zed badge off (is that easy?) and then use a carbon vinyl cover over the original? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Nah, its a real carbon wrap, I got a guy in the states to do it for me and then ship it over. If you take the TK badge off its all plain, no holes! Take a look at the RSW ones for a cover, fittment is pretty much spot on... Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 If thats the case then a sheet of magicalcarbon would do the trick Quote
ARphotographs Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 As soon as u get a zed adam quite a while then?? a zed isn't the top of the list of priorities just now lol. its on the "to own" car list, but not my next car yet. Adam Quote
