I think you're doing really well mate stick at it! Think those repeaters look much better than standard!

[fred666]

Cheers all. I can accept any opinion on the car, even the harsh uncalled for comments this will be VERY lightly fettled compared to half my cars lol. I've stepped into new territory with the VX, but there's no way its staying standard... thats not me, i'll continue to post ALL my progress even though i know some of it may get slated, some of it may get liked.. It's fair to show the whole picture TBH this is more of a recap of mods for myself as i no this topic will end up 15-20 pages long by the time im finished with the car A little nervey about how the retrim goes now...

[fred666]

Bit of a poor update as i don't have pics, but... The retrim is complete and i have all the interior back MY USB ports are fcuked on my PC at the moment so i can't upload off the camera Gonna be about a week till its all back in anyway as im awaiting a handbrake cable Ohh and I've now got heated seats!

[haggi961]

Sounds good and looking forward to see some pictures.

[fred666]

Little sneak peak of the embroidery. Its a vip style logo of my company name to suit the theme.
The design...

the work...


TBH im not overly impressed with the work on the trim, theres a lot of leather sag etc but overall it will all come together when it goes in the car, plus for what i paid i can't really complain.

With regards to the dust, i know most use tights as a filter but when i get around to it im going to see if i can cut up a pollen filter from another car and glue it into the air intake pipe and see if that works

[fred666]

Cheers dude, i had read that on here, but im yet to do the heater mod so don't want to compromize the heating yet lol

[theolodian]

Gotta feeling i may regret this,

Yeah, my first thought was that white is a bit brave!

[fred666]

Just a few quick snaps for now, still have a few bits to fit, the steering wheel cowl etc (Which im debating going back to an oem black item if i can find one...)








The heated seats are all wired up with hidden wires and they're great I think i've achieved the exact look i was after and what i set out to do to the interior, as said above the trimming work isn't amazing, but all in and fitted you can't see thebits that niggle me so i'm happy overall.

I did say i'd be taking a different route to most on here with the VX

[techieboy]

Pimpalicious. Sorry, that's chunderous not quite my cup of tea. Think you need to take your centre console back to whoever did it as it looks a bit of a mess in those pictures. But, if you're happy cleaning it every 3.5 minutes, then fair play to you.

[Yellow_or_black?]

Oh my fcuking God That's even worse than anything I could have imagined I'd see on this thread - and that's saying something. Why didn't you just go ahead and have 'DVB' on the headrests As for the gear and handbrake shrouds - what is going on with them? Please sell up, and set the poor VX free Talking of which, what happened to the one that was saved? The chap disappeared...

[Yellow_or_black?]

Double post, although both together still don't express how truly awful that is

LMAO i love it! As expected

[Nelly Vx]

Fair play to you Fred you have got some balls to do that you could have done a two tone theme to break it up a bit , too much white for me, I'd have it black in no time lol. But it's your choice

[fred666]

Yeah mate a lot of people will learn that about me quickly on here, i do what i like and other peoples opinions are merely that - although i accept all The idea with no colour is my love for spanish styling, its big out there to stick with bright monotones with no colour whatsoever, there'd be way to much black in there now for the way they mod and there'd also be a heap of airbrushing lol

[Zoobeef]

Didnt the one that got saved have a white interior too? You may have to slart liking the colour yellow unless your a clean freek haha

[aron916]

I quite like the way the seats have been done. For me, id have a different colour and scrap the logos! But i do like the style

[fred666]

My old mans a valeter and im deep into the whole detailing thing, plenty or products here from megs, AG, poorboys etc to keep it clean The one that got saved did have a white interior, its one of the few mods that the guy kept, and the ONLY mod i liked on that car, untill it got 'saved' lol If anyones expecting 20" chromes and silly exhausts on my car, it's not going to happen. Aron the logos are more of an advertizing factor than anything.
