#47: Re: New Red n White Project Thread *updated 27/08/11* Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Sat Aug 27, 2011 6:12 pm ---- I used a hair dryer on the vinyl to heat it up which allows you to stretch it so you dont get any creases round the edge. was pretty easy on the mirror caps which is all one pretty even surface but my god the centre console was a b***h, didnt even bother trying to do the top part! Took about an hour and a half just to do that bit.
Erm you just get a knife with a thin cloth wrapped round it and wedge it under the caps and they just pop off, takes two seconds. Ive got some Louis Vuitton mirror caps on at the moment but will keep the cf ones incase i fancy a change i think.
Pretty excited about getting lowered tomorrow

#58: Re: New Red n White Project Thread *Update Page 4 - 10/10/11* Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 12:35 pm ---- i was going to go with the black and red but I cant be bothered now and I do like the white so i think im going to stick with that. The lights are black in the second pic as the plastics for them were being sprayed, they are red now.

well i havnt notised any dramatic change in comfort really, obviouly you have to go slower over bumps but it isnt too bad. Coilovers probably would be better but you can ajust them anyway unless you do the tortion bar as well which is quite a lot of effort. If you hve the money go for coilovers.
