That isnt a priority yet. After the interior mods, I will be doing the exterior painting jobs and I will be be getting the cupra splitter and fabia wiper. This car was supposed to save me money lol!

New pics done this weekend of a few more mods, I didnt put in the pic off the chunk of skin removed from my finger lol.
Mk 4 golf armrest

First attempt at the carbon fibre

 

[Dubb]

how much the armrest cost?

 

[Lancashire Lad]

£40 + delivery from ebay

 

[Lancashire Lad]

I got fed up of the scratches on the silver console so I had a go at covering it. What do you think?

How much of a pain was it to get the arm rest in? Iv got one to fit off my brothers car iv just not attempted to remove it from his

That's quite a good match with the armrest!

 

[SalSheikh]

the carbon works pretty good, did you use the £m di-noc stuff? Also, did you remove the dash trim ?

 

[Lancashire Lad]

The armrest is easy to put as long as you cut the hole big enough, I followed the guide of the forum. I had to remove the console plastic to do the carbon stuff, also got the guide of here for that too lol. Very easy jobs but I was very happy with the result.

Rear fabia wiper fitted and looks great!

 

[Lancashire Lad]

I've now covered the inside grab handles too, looks much better. Painting jobs next and a splitter!

What's so good about the Volvo s40 windscreen jets

 

[Lancashire Lad]

They spray a fine even mist across the screen, covers more and looks cool too.

 

[aaronipswich]

That's pretty cool mate how much are they and do u have part number

 

[aaronipswich]

All ordered are they a straight swap

 

[Lancashire Lad]

Ive not fitted mine yet but they should fit no problems. I bought mine for my celica but kept them when I changed cars. Will get round to fitting them soon.

Well after my visit to awesome on Friday, I've made a start on colour coding the black bump strips. Yesterday I spent all afternoon sanding them down and today I masked off the front of the car and did 4 coats of primer, 4 coats of colour and 4 lacquer. will post pics tomorrow. I feel so chuffed to do it myself

Nice car mate, looks good. Where did u get thd chrome dial rings from if u don't mind me asking and were they hard to fit?

[Lancashire Lad]

I got them from ebay, very easy to fit and I think the cost £20-25.

 

[Lancashire Lad]

Here's a few of the painting so far, still need to use the g3 rubbing compound to finish the front off, then do the back and sides.
