Ok, finally got my coated interior stuff back. Must admit, im wrapped with the results.

I know wood grain isnt to everyones liking, but would appreciate comments anyway. Still need to re-upholster, to lift the interior a little more. Also, havent added the coated vents in the pictures (need to take out dash to replace these)

but i dont think it suits the fto.... of course, could be a completely different story once youve done the rest of your interior

Post by **dstocks** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 8:28 pm

Yep,

Figured most people would prefer the CF look. Cost - about $700

Were there any issues with the rubber surround of the clock/voltmetre?

Post by **dstocks** » Thu Dec 08, 2005 8:44 pm

Yep, that was a bit of a worry for a while. They werent keen to do that bit. Said they could not guarantee that the finish would take properly (bubbling etc). I told them I had a spare and wasnt really concerned if it didnt work. Would have been a shame without - would have spoilt the whole look. Also said I wouldnt hold them to the warranty on it either. It came up great though. I figure that ill just have to be careful with it (keep the heat off it etc).

HOLY SHHHHHHHH

what the hell do u do for a job?

Guess I should have expected that response.

No, actually tried the cheaper version previously (stick-ons). They still cost $200, but wasnt at all happy with the finished product. Decided that if I had to pay to get it done properly, then so be it.

I guess some are prepared to pay for that little bit of extra performance and some want the look.

Come to think of it, that doesnt work either, I WANT IT ALL!!

Personally I HATE wood grain....but holy moly.....reupholster those seats STAT!

Do the carpet while you're at it.....and replace the wheel with a nice woodgrain one and you'll be on your way to a supercar-esque interior!!

Thanks bro, i give them a ring tomorrow, hmmm consider all the parts you got them to do, I think $700 is pretty cheap.

looks very nice, one things that i would of left out was the seat belt guide, that just looks out of place, imo.

if only i could afford same thing but in CF lol .

I have a soft spot for woodgrain... having owned a dozen or so minis'

Would really set it off with all black leather seats

Yep. wasnt sure about that myself (Have black spares if I dont like them. The other bit im not sure about is the vents (not shown in pics). Dont really want the patchwork quilt look.
