Can't see how I've done that many to be honest. But I have done some long journeys in it.

 

They must be very long journeys!  

[gaffer1986]

I've done 500 miles in a day on at least two occasions. A track day is normally no fewer than 300 miles all in. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

[vocky]

looking good

[gaffer1986]

Still got that steering wheel surround to do that you gave me.

[Ormes]

Good job

[ChrisS1]

You could at least have put the cigarette lighter in the right way up Looks like you've achieved a great finish. What paint did you use?

[gaffer1986]

Halfords silver and importantly Matt lacquer.

I had one of them gaiters, When you try get 2/4/R it will try pull the gaiter out, there isnt enough loose material to allow the gearstick to move.

does the Mrs mind you using the karzy as a spray booth lol

Haha, I'm a singleton.

So, having installed the centre console along with the new mats I've noticed either I've got the wrong mats or wrong centre console... What do you think?

Can't see the mats being wrong. But wonder if you have an LHD centre console. Does it line up OK on the pax side?

Edited by Wolfstone, 16 April 2017 - 06:35 PM.

[gaffer1986]

Nope, it's out on both sides. Lhd centre console was what I was thinking. Took me 3 weeks, lots of sanding and spraying to restore it

[Wolfstone]

Does the centre console overlap the carpet on the pax side by the same amount that it underlaps (you know what I mean ) on the driver's side? If so I'm guessing that unfortunately you have a LHD console.

[2-20]

I can confirm that you have a LHD center console.... I feel sorry for you... I've Just done the same on my console and I know how long it takes to prepare it.
