Sunglasses holder for LCR...

[Brighton Femme]

Does anyone know of anywhere you can buy the below to match the LCR dark hood lining??

Also.. I guess the following fit an LCR but can you confirm:

Mk4 Golf:

Demister rings
Speaker rings
Mirror adjuster

A tourage Torch?

sunglasses holder does NOT come in a colour to match the LCR - you have to paint it or cover it yourself.
The case is from the VW cars, these all have light interiors, not black.
Can of spray paint is your answer, or find one that has been custom painted.

I covered mine with black alcantara recently but before that I painted it with a black plastic paint. As long as you get a matt paint the colour match is pretty good.

The chrome trim I haven't tried yet, I know the TT mirror adjuster doesn't fit though.

I have the toureg torch, will try it in beckys ash tray later to make sure it fits for you.

Are they easy to recover? I guess at mk4 golf one fits an Leon?

If you wnat it done well you could take it to a profesional sprayer but im sure a can of paint from hellfrauds would work. Just make sure you get the plastic one

Yup, vinyl spray from Halfords, take the sunglasses case apart (you don't need to paint the spring / damper / mounting bit because you don't see it when the case is closed.) Remove the padded lining, clean and degrease the case really well and build up the paint in a number of thin layers. If you're feeling flash, buy a red touch-up stick and do the little chrome bit so that it looks like your airvents.

That tourage Torch looks perfect. would be great to know if it works in the leon

 

[chiefsilverback]

From looking at it I'm guessing that the Toureg torch is just a rechargable torch that runs feeds from the lighter? If thats the case then you could always store it in the power outlet in the boot....

not cheap at £21 tho...

 

[zorba_the_greek]

so it works in the leons mk1 then??

 

[Brighton Femme]

I can't see why not! but I've not tried it!

 

[zorba_the_greek]

might have to take the plunge

now i have to find a VW dealer that sells them in north london

will let you know how i get on

 

[Icecavern]

I'll try it tonight if it's any good to you? I've got a spare ashtray in the house to plug it in and make sure the door shuts

No idea of part numbers, I just went into my local VW dealer and asked for a sunglasses holder out of the Golf.

Only advice, check the length of the screws you get with the holder Vs the ones you take out of the handle. Put the SHORTEST of the two back in. Sometimes the originals are shorter, sometimes the new ones are shorter, just use the shorter ones.

110% ..... hmmm well, im a speccy four-eyed geek, so im always having to change from glasses to sunnys in the summer. So I found it very usefull to prevent any pairs of glasses getting scratched.

It "soft closes" just like the handle. Very cool.

Only down side is..... now it's dark 90% of the time im driving.. PLUS im NOT MOVING 90% of the time im in the car (Fing M6) sometimes I wish I had a grab handle. But the easy solution to that is me not being lazy, getting the old handle out of the cupboard under the stairs and refitting it.

Let us know how you go on....

 

[stpete]

yes torch works a treet v bright as well, just right to hold in yer gob while sortin flat tyre etc!

 

[Scotty_b]

[zorba_the_greek]
