did you have any luck with the cruise control fitting?
Not had it serviced yet. I checked the book and I wasn't due one for another 1k miles. Going to book it in next week. Won't do cruise at the moment, saving pennies for holiday!

so its sorry hunny maybe next year haha
My wife would kick my arse if I said we couldn't go on holiday as I had spent loads on my car!
Wow Mike, you're really doing a great job on your car. I wish I had your skills.
It was a sincere compliment, actually. I have an Ibiza FR as well, and I'm trying to do some work on it, so to me having some skill would come in handy, to be honest.
I bought some paint to do some interior "decoration"
I want to spray paint the central console, the dashboard and the handbrake surround in glossy black, like the exterior of the car. I've been studying some of the guides to remove the central console alone and it already looks like a job for an electrician!
Wanna help?
I saw some results, people that have done it in a variey of coloours actaully, and it always looks pretty good, if it's done in good taste. I've also seen some major clashes of pink and yellow, but those are the exception really!
If I can find the picture of a guy who did it in black I'll post it so you can see, gimme five minutes.
Sweet! My only tips with painting is prepare the surface really well (clean and coats of primer) and don't rush the painting (lots of thin coats is best). Use laquer to then preserve your good handy work!
You forgot polishing! I have spray painted things and the finish after the laquer coat has been rubbish (orange peel etc.) After letting the paint dry and a good polish with a bit of T-cut or G3 compound they look perfect...nice n glossy.
Here's how I want it to look when it's done:
I could do the gear lever surrond, doesn't seem too hard to remove and it should give me a good idea of how to work around all the sanding and spraying, just for a bit of practice. Thanks for the advice both to you and Altech.
But I think it's time to get back to -your- car. What's next, after the holiday?
