Matt talk to me if you want your C-Pillars and rooflining done... I've done my C-Pillars and to say that they are a pain in the dairy air to do is an understatement. £50 a metre for alcantara is cheap. The going rate is usually between £75-90. But you only need a metre to do both c-pillars.

here's the end result, next on the list for this treatment is the centre console
#123: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 04/07/13 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sun Jul 07, 2013 6:13 am ---- recently had more interior trims dipped in a carbon look effect so quickly got round to getting them fitted
will be getting the centre console done in the same finish and now have a set of sp arches which after fcs will be sprayed/fitted then I can send my spare dash display surround to Edge Automotive to have trimmed in black alcantara with red stitching

cheers mate def coming along nicely although I promised my mum I wouldn't buy anything more for the car
#126: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 04/07/13 Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Aug 26, 2013 7:21 am ---- Well I guess you can't really call it an update but while the car was in having it's rear pads fitted I used my bro's 180 to check the size of the alloy wheel bolts.
Having done that I ordered a set of black wheel nut covers and decided today to fit them, hit a problem right away, they were too small
got the wheel brace and checked it, thought it was really weird because even the 21mm wasn't big enough, just on the off chance I used the tweezers and found that the previous owner off here had fitted chrome wheel nut covers, having realised that they were all replaced.
Also managed to remove the bolts for the old factory car mats so now the new mats when I get them will sit flat.
Should have my sp arche sprayed in 3 weeks then once the bonnet and wings are sprayed they'll be fitted

so thought I'd start with getting the sp arches sent to the bodyshop to be sprayed, hoping to get these back soon so they can be on the car asap
Also started to upgrade the speakers too, have decided to go for a Focal set up so over the wknd bought a set of Focal PC130 5.25" coaxial speakers, when fitted the speaker wire will also be upgraded and the rear quarter panels sound deadened.
Rather thans spending loads on delocking the doors I came across these lock covers which are made in a quality metal and professionally sprayed in obsidian black which just stick onto the original lock, at only £11 per door I thought i'd buy 1 for the passenger door and see what it's like, will post pics up when it is fitted
Still need to finish off my ipod dock and paint the calipers red, hopefully if there is a dry day

I'm usually funny about fake carbon but dipping really has altered my opinion! How much do they charge at garnish to coat stuff because if it isn't killer I'd get my mirror caps done ect lol.

Cheers Jamie, the carbon dipping wasn't too bad, the vents and the grab handles were about £65 delivered, but I bought the parts off ebay rather than having the 180's covered. I was going for carbon wrap but wanted to try this dipping and preferred it more. Once the centre console is done that'll be the interior parts done. Try kam racing bud, they got a set of proper carbon fibre mirror caps for probably the same price to be dipped
#130: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 17/09/13 New Speakers Author: JamieM, Posted: Thu Sep 19, 2013 3:16 am ---- Ah cheers that's not a bad price really, I think I'll have to have a proper think on it, I've seen some cheap CF mirror caps but if I get my morettes dipped I'd have to get the mirror caps to match really or it will look odd lol

haha very true, would have to ensure they lacquer the morette cases really well as I noticed with my interior parts they do scratch quite easily
#132: Re: MattyP's 180 Project - Update 17/09/13 New Speakers Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 11:21 am ---- well it's come to that time where the 180 has had another biggish update, have finally fitted the sp arches, reckon the wings have been rolled or something because they were a right pain in the a**e to fit!!
gave her a quick clean and took a few quick pics so apologies for the poor quality/light of them
Next up is the roof rails colour coded and the engine cover sprayed flamenco red
