Someone will have mine instead of re-trimming it as its the nuts anyway! :)

I sprayed mine as well matey, just good with a spray can. Changing it was really really easy. I was amazed, saying that though I did have the back seats out so I think that helped alot. As for the door cards, they are off a 1.4 DAB from a breakers, cost me £40 for the lot, same with the sport seats they cost me £60 for front and back. So all together its cost me about £400 to change the interior which isnt too bad as it looks fu**ing mint, am over the moon with it.

aye damo count me in matey,

And mix, u take all the fixings out light,pillars,handlesetc, and pull it out of the rubber seal and then pull it forward a little bit towards the windscreen (if u left the C pillars in anyway) and just comes out no glue no mess dead easy.

I havnt sprayed the pillars but they would be easy to do and come up mint, unfortunatly I bought all my bits before I tryed spraying some smaller bits and relised how easy they were and how good they come up. I used halfords mat black at £6.odd a tin its class and very good colour match 2 the actual carbon black bits.
