Hi all I tought i would show my newly updated HSE interior (dash centre console)
And then i wondered about something ... can any one tell me does that bit of plastic that folds down when you lower the tail gate move with the tailgate or is it simply Im meant to push it ?
mine has to be put down by hand and its bloody rubbish
oops meant to say the silver is so bright because the flash was on. While carbon may not be to everybodies taste my dash was wrecked had a crack in it and all the pint had become soft so scratched very easily and looked aweful.
The material used came from ebay (carla i think was brand) It cost me $40 dollar a metre (so i hd to buy 1 metre of each colour) I have enough to do another 3 p38s (but i dont want to lol)
It was available in brisbane for pickup
its just a vinyl wrap but really effective. Took about 4 hrs to do but the finish is brilliant.
I want to do the wood but the wife says no ...... (aluminium would look lush)
The tailgate flap is spring loaded so it folds flat with the tailgate. The spring retainers are quite weak though & often break with the result you now see.
And do the wood - it looks a little odd with old school timber & new school carbon fibre next to each other IMO .
I rekon you have done a good job mate, looks great! Certainly a cheap alternative if your trims are looking a bit sad! I bet you could even buy fake timber vinyls if you swing that way!
Just a quick thought on the timber sections... If you were to cover them with brushed aluminum vinyls, rekon you could add the pretend "limited edition" or "range rover" vinyls subtlely in one corner for that prestige sporty look!
what stickers are you on about ? sounds like a plan .... also yes aluminium is what i was thinking. In refference to the wood stick on .. not my cup of tea thanks
Great minds think alike, I did bits of mine 3 years ago when I got the car with the same black carbon. Like yours some of the trim was cracked and scratched so its a cheap cover up. I did not get as far as the switch panel but if it ever comes off I will cover it before refitting.
I have meters of the stuff in black dark and mid blue, greyish silver and bright silver if anyone in Perth wants a piece.
And the tailgate flap on mine was also broken. I tied a piece of fishing line to the flap and attached the the tailgate. Works as it should even after 3 years of abuse.
