ripped_fear Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Love the attention to detail in your car Jake Thankyou mate. Just got in contact with a company RE a retrim. Just need to decide weather to get some bucket seats trimmed or retrim the oem ones.

ripped_fear Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 With Christmas gone, I collected the scuttle panel. Really like it be interesting to see what it looks like in the bay. Also the battery box, (which I forgot to measure, sorry mate) has gone off with the suspension turret plates and the OEM pulleys to be painted. gone for black box, silver plates, and Darker Red metallic pulleys. Sorry that its dusty and dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Intriguing... What are the bits in the top pic Jake, where do they go? Centre Console? Edited January 8, 2015 by Stevo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Intriguing... What are the bits in the top pic Jake, where do they go? Centre Console? I think they look like arm rests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 As above they are arm rests, or will be. Interior is about to go though some changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Are they the eBay leather kits? I've looked at them a few times and wondered about the quality and fit. Intrigued to see what they look like installed and how easy they were to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Yep they are the ones from top gaiters, I have there gear stick and handbrake gaiters already fitted. Quality was great and fitted well. Thought I'd take a risk on these as for the price it was worth a shot. Again leather quality is looking good, but fitment I'm yet to see. Had a play with them last night, and would say the arm rests should be good But the centre I'm not sure. Looks like the stitching may not be able to be fitted how I wanted it. Will see though and update with the results soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will see though and update with the results soon. I've got arm rest covers, handbrake cover, gear shift gaitor, and centre console cover, all from TopGaitors, and fitment and quality is bang on. All can be seen in my project thread in my sig. There's also a thread about them somewhere. The centre console cover ideally needs the old cover removed for a good fit. I stapled mine over the existing cover, and it's VERY tight. I always planned on another change though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_sammy_ Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) I got topgaiters to make me stuff for my starlet. His work is great. Asked him if he could change the colour of the stitching to pink and was posted out two days later. Fitted perfect.

Yeah I have stripped the OEM cheap leatherette junk off, and left the spongy layer on. Now im using special high temp trim adhesive I bought online to fix them on. Same as the OEM ones are fitted. Should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Lovely stuff mate, my interior is a long way down my list but I've had the sellers saved in ebay for a whole. Definitely something to do in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
