Finally got round to giving it a full detail today. Painted the calipers aswell.

Next up is footwells, mudflaps and tints.

Decided to carbon wrap the chrome strip across the dash, around the screen and the steering wheel piece.
Used 5D gloss carbon.

Been thinking of doing similar things to what you've done to my car although mines silver so seeing yours look so good is making me want to get it done asap!
I work in a bodyshop so would be spraying the plastics rather than wrapping but same result in the ènd.
Also been thinking of doing this wat do u guys think -

Paint roof gloss black
Tempted to get shark fin ariel?? Any previous experience anyone?
Carbon mirror caps like scottys
Tempted to lower it abit but not sure yet???
Tint the windows
Add deflectors
Dewiper
Sunstrip
Change all bulbs to bright white leds!!
Toying with getting a little Opc style spolier too :D View attachment 4158 View attachment 4158 Wheel Tire Car Vehicle Land vehicle

A couple of 12v cool white 30cm strips with 5050 leds will do.

Scotch locks, 24awg wire and a terminal block.

Here's how you wire them to the roof light:

Fat grey next to yellow and black at the end.

I ran the 24awg cable from the centre of the footwell to the roof light. Then simply attached it all to the terminal block.

Quite a surprising sort of match with the stitching on the wheel :)

Well to my ancient eyes anyway :mrgreen:

No they will come out with a bit of force and persuasion. Push the airbag hard to the opposite side and use trim tools to prise them out.

Be warned the horn will sound more than once.

It would be x100 times easier with the airbag removed but I didn't want to touch it.
