Boo's MintGrün MK1 Arosa - small update

[Seatmann]

The hole thing just pops out then the clear bit comes out of that, it's fairly easy to do and I think it will make all the difference to the overall finish especially with the effort you've been puting into the head lining etc, you could still do something other than black but the grey doesn't fit somehow to my eyes..

 

[Boo]

Other option is purple but, better to go with a neutral in case I change it all around.

 

[Seatmann]

Yip purple or that green colour that's in your head lining design would totally look better I think, you can always change it later if needed or get a second hand one to replace it.

I put the black plastics in today that I bought ages ago. Rear pockets and seatbelt covers were awful to do as the rear seatbelt had to be unbolted at both ends.

Before:

After:

Cannot for the life of me work out how to take the winders off !

 

[Aimez]

if they are like VW ones they just pull off, someone stole them out of a courtesy car at work!! Amazing how much difference that has made, I had to unbolt the front seat belts on mine took a while to figure it out.

 

[Seatmann]

Looks good though boo, nice job. I understand the difficulty because I've just been puting all my carpets and trim back in and I've not quite finished yet, seats to go. What about the interior light, any decision on it yet?

 

[Boo]

I have a spare light. I'm going to a show at the weekend so I think I'm going to leave it for now and then send it off with the visor's to get flocked.

 

[Seatmann]

Cool it'll look pretty good I reckon, it'll all in the details.

 

[Aimez]

I will have to check it out when you get it back sounds interesting

I'm stopping after all the flocking ! I don't want to go into the realms of doing the carpet, very brave !

 

[Seatmann]

I wouldn't have bothered but the floor was so wet I had no choice, the underlay weighed a flippin ton lol, all that water it had been soaking up for who knows how long but it wasn't to bad fitting it all back in, the pics are in this thread if you want a look

Looks good. I just know I would end up getting annoyed with myself and lose my temper. I have patience for most things but, door clips and fiddly bits don't have a hope in hell.

 

[Seatmann]

Lol I know what you mean but you're doing a good job on your car, you've done all the headliner and stuff, I reckon you'd manage better than you think, I'll pm you a funny pic of one of the things that didn't go to plan, it was pretty funny.

 

[Boo]

Please do I actually wonder how many people have never posted up pictures of things that haven't worked but, still taken picture

 

[Seatmann]

I always take pics if I remember, I'm only human after all and some of the mistakes are funny, thankfully I don't make as big mistakes as I have done in the past

 

[Boo]

De-wipered today,

 

[Seatmann]

So what's next Boo? Did you get round to the interior light colouring?

 

[Crafoo]

Loving the "Not sponsored by mummy and daddy" sticker

Car is looking very nice, good work

 

[TeeJay]

Have you thought about changing the colour of the 's' badges? Maybe colour-coded or black would look good? Or carbon fibre vinyl...but then I am biased...

 

[Boo]

I have a black roof so don't want too many exterior black bits. I have some new wheels lined up when I have managed to get time off to drop them into the powder coaters. Bumpers need a respray. Need some HID's too. So a few things to do.
