J, very nice love the door spears as you know, but I am really impressed with the mirror triangles and roof light unit , those are my next two mods ,I have the spare mirror triangles and the spare roof light surround should be with me early next week. great to actually see what it will look like. :thumb: :thumb: it looks so much better than all that matt plastic everywhere. what about the little rectangular pieces under the door speakers what the plan for them ,I cant decide whether to paint or do in alcantara.or leather the same as the rest of the door :thumb:
Hi Phil, cheers :thumb: .... I must admit it does transform the interior a lot, this is something Porsche should have done themselves in all honesty, regards the rectangle bits under the speakers.. I think too much colour coding on the door is overkill, spears and mirror corners is just right, if I start taking little bits off here and there just because it's easy to take off and paint it will end up looking cheap chavs car you get in Max Power magazines back in the day lol, Less is more in my opinion... I'd leave as it is Phil, but then your taste maybe be different to mine in how you want your interior look!
I'm debating wether should paint the front panel fascia also you know the stereo fascia and heater controls fascia in same colour but not sure how it would look and i think that's all I would do to be honest !!! What you think?

J, As your car is silver/grey I think it would work well mate , I have seen it done in black gloss and matt black aka gen2 they looked good ,I have seen it in red looked nice but I also saw it in riviera and was overkill so IMHO it depends on the body colour as what will work and Silver/grey I am sure would work. :thumb: As you say it needs to be subtle or it can look MAX power :grin:
Re the little plastic bit under the door speaker you have a good point and think I will send them to Design LS to be leather trimmed to blend in with the rest of the door leather. :thumb:
Hi Phil, I think I'm gonna strip the front stereo console section for a repaint in grey!! I'll take the car for a good morning run and back then strip and send off Monday to wicked for a paint job !! Why dont you get your current mirror covers and paint them!!
@Demort, I may just add a bit of glue when fitting back the fascia maybe some evostick rather than glueing it with two part mix, I want to know first from the retrimmer if he can retrim the steering wheel with the fascia off cos I don't fancy it getting scratched in the process if I fit it all back etc. !!
@Phil, can I ask you how hard/easy is it to take off the dash clock cowling, am looking to chuck that in for painting also and I'm done with interior after this!!!
Cheers
