Changing the Interior

[Guinness]

Right well after much pondering I am now going to change the interior of the beezer. Going to go for the cupra kind of look but go for seat sport seat covers instead of cupra seats (dont want to feel like Im making it out to be something its not).

Anyway Iv got the part number for the seat sport seat covers and Im going to a breakers to try and find some decent condition black door cards. What Im after is the part numbers as I cant find them for

Cupra Headrests(can find on etka the headrests but not the cupra ones :S)
The pillars( just as there are a lot of numbers for the ones I have)
(as I cant think of them all and Im pretty sure someone has done this before)

Going to dye or paint the headlining so that should save me £200. Also going to spray the interior light black.

Now my last question is how easy is it to drop the headlining and how do I go about doing it? Presuming this might well be the hardest bit

All In Im hoping to keep the cost under £400 and my interior is pretty naff at the min so is in need of it. Might cost a bit more as I want the cupra like gear gaitor, handbrake cover some red mats and some red vent dials. Hoping also to keep this thread going so I can post pics of my progress

ive got cupra a pillers c pillers and the strip along the back of the headlining was on ebay for 25 for the lot. headlining is 3easy to drop down. take off the crab handles and sunvisors and remove A pillers then pull it toward the front of the car this will allow the rear to come out of the C pillers then just carfully remove it from behind the b pillers and then take it out of the boot! let me know if you want the cupra bits mate i cant shift them at all on ebay and they are taking up room

should be day after boxing day hopefully. Going to do it in stages for my next mods hopefully just after new year sould be pd160 intake and green cotton pannel filter, seat sport seat covers, new door cards and cupra headrests.

The the pillars and headlining and then the finishing touches, w8 light, new car mats gaitor vents etc.

there you go mate that was the listing! part no in it as well

Guiness, bear in mind the W8 light housing is the wrong colour for the Cupra interior bits You will need to get it sprayed but if you are doing other bits then it shouldn't be a problem. That is the main reason I haven't fitted mine yet

 

[Guinness]

yep aint got a problem spraying it matey, going to do that to a few of the other little bits as well save a few quid lol. Like the bits u dont see often

 

[mjh_cupra]

Guiness, the door cards that you have will be the same as mine...is there any way the material can be retrimmed of changed.... I may take them to a trimmers as i have just got the cupra seats etc....

Also mate are you sure the seat covers fit on the SE seats???

 

[rashcupra]

ive just resprayed my golf gti door cards with bog standard mat black paint and they went from this (BOTTOM GREY 1) VVVVV

to this VVVVVVV

still fels like material and doesnt come off obviously just need to spray them in loads of thin coats and watch the boring GREY DISAPEAR

 

[Rosco906]

what interior colour have u the know gunnies?

 

[Guinness]

grey and yes Im sure they will fit lol,

 

[Guinness]

Should have some interior pics within the next week or so. Has anyone replaced the seat covers before as they seem stupidly hard to do.

 

[Guinness]

black headlining and rear seats went in today. Looks amazing must say the diffrence is mint, feels a lot more sporty and a lot less cheap inside pics tomorow hoefully.

 

[rashcupra]

what seats you get in the end guinness

 

[gazjones]

my old pillers in?

 

[Rosco906]

yeah, what interior did u get, also pic's pic's

Rash... what happened to that cupra interior u had?

 

[Aimez]

he sold it to someone on here with a mk 3 IIRC

 

[Guinness]

your old pillars are in yes GAZ, so are the rear seats, Went for some new style seats out of a fully kited 1.4 DAB and got some SEAT sport seat covers. Some new door cards, sprayed the headlining, got a cupra gaitor as well and some new seat covers.

Progress so far, headlining in pillars in and back seats in just need to sort the front ones.

 

[gazjones]

have you done the middle pillers? where seat belts run through. if so will look lush i never got that far! lol
