Re: Interior Light Question

Contacts in the light switch can corrode and bend slightly. More than likely the cause.

Re: PANZER VI - B7 Bits

Good write up on the climate panel retrofit! Would love to change mine but put off slightly by the fact it doesn't work 100%. Is there anything can be done to change it? Different size wheel used or something?

Re: Trim removal tools

I use my fingers to undo the door cards lol! Once the bolts are out, grab the boot on of the door and pull hard. Haven't broken a door card mount yet, and maybe break about 10-20% of clips but there easily purchased and replaced.

Re: G's 2009 Highline - Interior changed

Inserts were hard enough. Some big clamps to hold them on place while the glue set would have helped.

Black headrest with screens, DVD player and TV tuner will be up for sale! Need to fix a wire on the TV tuner.

IN8, will be good to catch up and hopefully your not in a rush home this time!

Re: Bagged CC, new wheels page 9

Mmmm NUEs! Love these! Yea I would say keep them polished up or get them diamond cut. But with a white car, you could go with a bold colour on them.

Clear indicators I think would suit it better too. Otherwise siting very well!

Re: B6... A Working Progress

May as well keep them for now! You can buy your other seats when you man up and talk to the seller again or when you take a trip to Poland!

Get the doors cards trimmed to match and the arm rest.

Only reason not to keep them is of you decide to have a few new kids and end up with twins!

Re: G's 2009 Highline - Interior changed

No feeling fine! Needed to get up early anyway.

Next job will be getting roof lining changed. Gonna change the pillars first to see how it looks. Once I've done that I should be finished! Maybe get the parcel shelf retrimed with half black half cream.

Wheels would fit, but would be a tight fit. Would need a reasonable amount of stretch on the tyres though.

Frig that I'm wrecked! Need some time with the fiancée apparently lol!

Yes bum still a bit wet, seats got a proper clean before they went in the car lol. It also rained half way through.

Think the seats are heated but can't get them to work. I've maybe washed them a little bit too well!

Re: G's 2009 Highline - Interior changed

Got the cream roof lining too, so I'm gonna swap it out. Trying to get the leather out of the door cards to swap just the leather part too to break up the solid black of the doors. Easier said than done lol. I recon each door could take an hour.
