zero 1162 Report post Posted June 7, 2015 Get your interior trim vinyl wrapped. Or you can paint it like I have done. Then you can have something unique. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zero 1162 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 I have some very bad cellphone pics of when I painted my interior trim. I had the poo wood too and I sanded it back to bare wood, primed it and painted it. I painted it in the same colour as the car (black sapphire metallic) so it is unique. It looks much better than the pics show 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HSB 282 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 Update: Headlights Got myself some new indicators - will look at the headlights as a whole later (need more coin) Tail lights Going with Kyu's advice and getting those taillights and black them out with VHT Nightshade tint on tint film. Trim + Gearknob Sourced some good carbon fibre dash trim from a guy in Porirua, for $70. Going to go with Zero's recommendation on spray my own centre console and gear knob. Knowing me gear knob will end up with some eccentric graphic design on it haha Side indicators Got some smoked ones of these too: Wheels Got some 18" genuine wheels. He doesn't know yet but sending them to EUROHO's shop to get the curbing fixed (thanks man ) then going to get them painted matte black. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HSB 282 Report post Posted June 11, 2015 E46 Currently: The poor girl has been ravaged by her last owner. She flew through her service tho which made me very happy! Next steps: A lot of aesthetic work to be done! After the following (or advice as garnered above) Door cards: After both drivers and passengers - anyone have any? They are like hens teeth! Interior drivers side upper panel: Somehow this is missing - anyone have? Is it the same on sedans and coupes? External rubber seal: Is f**kt - all needs to be redone - anyone have experience in this? Who do I go to for it? Plasti-dip window trim: Going to do my silver window trims white - will wait to see how the rubber seal chats that need to happen, go first Grille They are $38 NZD w free shipping on eBay so going to get one of those. Shout out if anyone has any advice for me please :) very appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
