I'll take some pics of the flocking. The Flocking company repaired the crack, reinforced it, sanded it down and then flocked over the top so it looked as good as new. Well better and cheaper!

When I did some research into coverings I found these were good for ideas..









Retset - apologies for buggering you about with the harness bar. I've had a problem with the fixing, I'll pm you later hopefully have it sorted if you're still interested!

[Retset]

Was going to PM you. Yes, still gagging for the harness stuff Those pics you have added are just lovely - makes me wonder about simply saving up till I can afford some leather stuff ..... 3rd pic down would suit me a treat ....

you know what, i thought leather would look pants. But those pics looks stunning! it would really add to the interior of the car! i can imagine with the carpeted side etc. it would look really nice

I like it how it is, just raw

The more alu, the better

I mean if i wanted a car with carpets then i wouldnt of brought a vx

[Yellow_or_black?]

I do agree - I never got/get the more carpets/leather/alcantara/other coverings the better stance, since - as you say - it's a complete juxtapose to what the VX is all about. Like trying to turn a tin-opener into a three piece suite. I'd up the alu count significantly if I could find someone to make the bits... But, each to their own

I mean i dont mind people getting the dash flocked or a nice retrim but you have to leave elements like the alu in place. The sill plates would look good in alu or even carbon fiber

[Yellow_or_black?]

I'd like alu door cards, sill covers and cup holder

[Yellow_or_black?]

There are carbon fibre sill plates - and some OE Turbo metal (not sure if alu) ones. The former are on ebay; some of the latter were on recently too - hard to come by.

waa waa waa i dont think i could ever be bothered to spend money on the car that isnt going to enhance the drving experience, i dont have it nor can i be bothered taking the bloody thing apart anymore! Every time it comes apart there is some other problem or whatever.

i think thats down to the person taking it apart lol. Everytime i take mine apart it goes back better then before

[Retset]

Don't get me wrong, I also like the alu and don't intend to cover a square inch of it . The painted silver plastics are cack though (in my 7+ yr old anyway) and the sill plate is merely OK. I will sort all the plastics one way or another as time progresses.

[Yellow_or_black?]

Agree about the silver plastics - would love to be rid

[Retset]

I'm wondering whether a silver/grey/black version of this vinylkote stuff may well be a good solution to the plastics and not add too much weight to the car either ... (Say I, going OT on my own thread )

Stupid door cards

[Yellow_or_black?]

I have leather Get some leather ones/get the silver ones covered. Take them to that upholsterer I recommended.

[Phil T]

i would but its miles away i want the whole lot done including the seats too

[MaDFreeBiRD]

if i was paying someone else to get the whole lot done that would be good, because i wouldnt be able to break it!
