Idrive continues..

Just like usual, I waited to long to post back.. but here I am again :)

Porject iDrive still exists, and still not finished. Here's the progress so far:


I had to recreate the mold, because of some minor flaws in the old one. It's a learning process really.. But it's good fun ;)
The old casting was to big.. I didn't calculate the width of the material would be added to the width of the mold :whistle:. Also pre-drilled the holes for the fan knobs

And BOOM! there it is!

I'm going to remove the old window buttons, and install tumble switches to enhance the rally car feeling. It's a bit of a mix of nostalgia and modern interior with the luxurious SpaceNavigator and the CarPC screen, and then there’s the tumble switches also used in the Ibiza rally car :)

Now it just needs some nice paint, a yellow striping to match the gaugepod and the gear shift thingy (whats it called again? gear knob?)


Beside the dashboard I also installed yellow xenon. Because a car can't be yellow enough :D

AND we're back in summer mode. Last year my rear brake got stuck, spraying brakedust all over the OZ's.. this resulted in burned in dust..

But, then there was IronX.

So A couple weeks ago I was finally able to finish the iDrive/Space Navigator project!

I decided to wrap the panels instead of spray painting it, and it turned out really great!

Still had to do a little cutting in that picture, here is the final result in the car:

It works like a charm!
I got al lot of question about what it is and what it's used for so I shot a little video

Thanks for replying, i didn't pm you because i registered on this forum to try to do that, but it seems that we need to make some posts before being able to pm members, thats why i took my chance, made my personal email public, expecting you to say something, but i understand your point.. :)

Wow, a very very nice Projekt!

I love the 6k Ibiza/Cordoba's (i have four of it), but with the Kitcar Bodykit it is perfect! I search for this Kit a long long time.

Best wishes from Austria.
