yeah i bought the whole interior and that was everything seats,doorcards,carpet and seatbelts for £100

its actually really easy to do(he says ) all you need is the fabric your retrimming with,scissors,craft knife,spray adhesive,black spray paint(or whatever colour you want to match your material closest) basicly everything has to be removed that it to be retrimmed, 1# starting with the front pilars,then middle then rear pilars, 2# then all interior lights,clips,sun visors and grab handles 3# remove headlining 4# i removed the original material from all the bits(start with the pillars :winky: as if you mess up its really easy to start again instead of doing the headlining and almost finishing then messing the last bit up) 5# cut roughly the shape your gonna need (use the old material as a template to measure and leave approx 3-5cm around the outside ) 6# spray the adhesive onto the pilar and leave to go slightly tacky before laying the material over otherwise it'll soak through and look poo when dry 7# rub down the material by hand on the pilar so its sticks properly and make sure extra few cm is unstuck and hanging over still 8# spray the rear of the pilar near the edge and pull the edges a few cm at a time so you can get a decent fit and you can also trim if some areas are to long now for the headlining now the headlining is more difficult as you have more curves and dips in in 9# its easier to leave the old material on for this,start from the rear or the headlining as its more flat and lay your huge piece of material over it to get the rough size 10# as before with the pilars spray the adhesive onto the headlining and leave to go tacky (take it a few inches at a time) 11# carefully lay your material over the adhesive and gently rub down (try keeping the material in line with the headlining as you dont want to get halfway through and realise youve gone off at an angle so take it a few inches at a time and keep checking) 12# keep going over the hole for the sunroof as you can cut that later when youve finished 13# you should be up to the ridges where the sunvisors would be now so just use your fingers to get in those curves for a tight neat fit 14# when your happy glue all the edges down on the back,and cut a X in the middle of the sunroof hole but dont go to the edges completely as you'll need material to overlap to stick on the back as youve done around the outsides then trim up as necessary 15# while the headlinings out try and remove the sunroof cover as in this guide here online workshop manual it will take a bit of persuasion but will come out :winky: and cover with the same method 16# lastly you will have the outer trim for the sunroof which just pulls off instead of covering this with the material just give it a few light sprays of black spray paint to give it the colour 17# if you want while there off spray all your fittings to match,just give them a little rub with some fine sandpaper to get a key on the surface then spray them up 18# when all the parts are dry refit it all 19# sit back and admire your work :winky: any questions just send me a pm :D

Happy birthday

Attractions are extra - Prices are here though there maybe a reduction which the organisers are trying to sort, & we have the whole place to ourselves (no public) on the Friday. If you or your other half/mum/dad collects Tesco clubcard points then they can be exchanged for ride tickets Details on how to here Just a note: Like last year there is a no glass policy (wine, beer, glasses etc) for H & S reasons, but unlike last year spirit bottles (vodka etc) will be allowed but must be disposed of safely. sweet bring on the morgan spice. and the grey goose :winky:

happy birthday

i know how you feel,i popped out in the car the weekend to the shop with my flip-flops on(i forgot they were on) and knew it was a mistake as soon as i started driving as i didnt feel in complete control and were worried the were gonna slip off so stopped the car and grabbed my trainers out the boot saraj-nothing wrong with them wearing high heals mate :D

happy birthday

GET IN the best show on tv,and vicky butler-henderson on 5th gear :P

couldnt you recess them into the mdf a little cos its only a few mm?,that way they wouldnt look so strange and be even more hidden ive got an idea that im going to be doing with mine which ill chat to you about when i pop up again

just sent him a pm

Yeah but you could use the same argument to ask why people would pay money for a Lexus, when they could buy a cheap Korean runaround that would do the same thing ? yeah see your point its the wages which does my head in i prefer cricket, but in a very slow way, thats becoming all about the money aswell not as bad a football these days footballers get paid like 100k per week, for what exactly? after just reading the paper harrison ford earnt £43.3m in the last 12 months so thats £832,692 a week just compare that with the top paid footballers

it looks really strange seeing the shapes under the material,are you not gonna have them showing?

i knew that oem parts can be expensive but £60m for pads!! only real madrid buy them

my mates got the q7 abt version and its feckin rapid
