Alloy + Carbon Wiper delete Plug - Which one!?!
- Thread starter C4-STORM
- Start date
When I fitted mine I just ran a bead of clear silicone under it before I tightened it up. 100% watertight.
Ironically the bung is off the car now due to my recent respray.
I contemplated having the hole filled and painted like Sackerley and MC are, especially as every panel was being painted anyway, but I only do easily reversible mods so I decided not to.
There's no denying it looks much better filled and painted though.

I'm probably going to scoot down mid morning for a nose. Are you going down?

Well spotted :grin:
Most likely bud as they are hosting a free BBQ :lol:
Gutted to miss out on the Show & Shine though, emailed them last night and won't add me now - hence we can't park at the centre just to let you know :nooo:
Wiper delete to minor re-trim...
Just to follow-up with this post.
Flat delete plug arrived from A+C Greece, colour coded - decent bit of kit with the gaskets and alu thread etc. for £30 odd quid.
Whilst the rear panel trim was out I decided to contact Jack who re-trimmed my steering wheel and request a bit of extra alcantara.
For £not-a-lot! I have re-trimmed the rear panel and got a bit carried away so did the centre arm rest and the small cover behind.
All to match in with the alc headlining (no-sunroof) and alc/leather steering done by Jack at Royal.
Liking the rear parcel shelf panel a lot as this was vinyl before but I am not sure that the armrest is better in alc than leather :?:
Either way pleased with the result!
Pics attached for a bit of feedback.. :wink:

Cheers guys :thumbs:
I have to say that alcantara is fairly easy to work with for simple tasks - flat pieces of trim, squar(ish) edges but hats off to the pro's like Jack who do seats and steering wheels.
That rear trim piece in the back looks awesome re-covered as it kind of follows the headlining down to the cargo shelf and pretty easy to do when the plastic has already been removed.
I have also sorted my paddle shifters which just didn't feel right to me.
Took it all apart and re-installed.
