FTO AUSTRALIA

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)

its nice, i like it, very mitsubishi

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

looks how much did that set u back if u dont mind me asking? id prefer cf though

Yep,

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

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

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!!

ehheehehe ok ok, so whats the address & name of this place? And even wood grain isn't my cup of tea, it still looks great.

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

Thats what I thought!

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

one things that i would of left out was the seat belt guide

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.

Would really set it off with black leather seats

Yep, was thinking Black with blue inserts actually (still thinking about the blue)

Nah.... brown... blue.... all black for sure!

Like this (yeh, I know, crap photoshop job, but hey, you get the idea):

Get the blue a few shades darker and I think it'd look pretty dang nice!

How much darker - more like this???
