Black interior UPDATED 18/06/08

[Rattic]

Anyone got any or know where I can get any spare black interior parts, such as a handbrake cover, window winders etc? Someones sellin the complete mechanical handbrakes on ebay but I only want the cover.

BEFORE the makeover:

Handbrake trimmed 15/04/08

UPDATE 18/06/08: Front interior now complete
Installed black centre console and a set of those brushed silver effect trim kits knockin about on ebay atm (though the pics dont do it justice as it just reflects the light n looks white)

Just the rear of the car left to do now

Anyone know if mk1+2 Golf GTI winders will fit an Arosa?

 

[cardaft]

Have you fitted a black arosa interior to your arosa?

Id like to do that, im not getting on with this light interior very well, it dont half take some cleaning

Yeah, try some breakers yards, or the dealers, they might not be as much as you think!

nope, lol. Am thinkin a black and grey combo will be much better than all grey (to begin with). When I first bought the car. The nasty grey handbrake really stood out to me, and when I look at pics on the net of the black interior, it looks sooo much nicer. So I'm lookin at doin one a bit at a time. Handbrake is listed first. Then when I upgraded my speakers, I hated the window winder, lol. And my interior door handles are marked and need replacing anyway.

Have just ordered the Elsawin DVD off the net and will look into how much work is required for anything else when it arrives.

Just need to give the doorcards a bit of a clean. Still trying desperately to get a black handbrake cover, but think I found someone who can get one for me...eventually.

Thats starting to look better, much prefer the standard speaker grill too.

Will you eventually change the whole interior for dark stuff?

Im getting on with my light interior fine atm, its nice and clean, and i think it goes ok with the black of my car.

Although i prefer my 2003 Arosas interior better, nice dark interior against the silver car, looks better.

Eeek, haha, just reinstalled the newer speakers grills. Put em on the correct way round this time though! Not doin the whole interior. Couldnt put my finger on it at first, but there was something I didnt like about the interior. The handbrake was the first thing to get me, lol. And now I'm not even sure if it was the grey! I been lookin at pics on the net. And theres a nice grey interior thats exactly the same as mine, BUT the paintwork of the car is grey! I think its the Blue paintwork that spoils the interior. Which is why I bought the black n blue carmats, to help introduce blue inside a bit better. Black handbrake is the only thing left to upgrade now I think.

I have just taken a chance on some 'apparently' tailor made car seat covers though :s - Black n blue. Just waiting for em to arrive. Will post one last pic when seat covers n handle arrive.

Is that a Maroon 5 cd I see?

haha, it is. Very observant! No more CDs in my car now though since gettin the MP3 player.

FINALLY I got the handbrake cover replaced. It was the first thing I wanted to change, yet surprisingly the most difficult to obtain. In the end I got an extra grey cover and sent it over to Porschetrimr over at ClubLupo who trimmed it for me in black leather and blue stitching! Seems to be working fine at the moment.

Not sure if he would want me to say in case it was more/less work than he imagined. Best bet would be to sign up at clublupo and PM him.
