Beautiful...

No fairy lights, no blue Peter stickers, no hamster cage mesh, just well balanced quality mods to enhance and not ruin...

Excellent Job. And I love the black on black.

PS. Seat belt pads would be a bit gay... stay focused Don. Lol

Mirrors fold on locking car using either door button or alarm fob.
Mirrors unfold AFTER unlocking car and pressing start button to ACC position.

As UK cars have double locking system, trigger feed to fold then is slightly different to the supplied instructions.

Separating harness, not absolutely necessary, but those with Pioneer Satnav will/should already have one fitted that can be used.

Correct fitting mudflaps are AFAIK only available from Rallyarmor in the US.

There must surely be other options to paying $230 for a set of mud flaps.

I bought Rally Armour

$170 ish + postage = $212.69

Flaps = £134.50p (exchange rate dependant)

duty to paid just before delivery

Import £25.52p 20% ish + Handling Fee £8.00p

So

Total £168.02p ish

There are UK dealer ones but £130 for front and £130 for rear or Fleabay tesco value mudlaps, "you pays your money etc"

The quality of the Rally Armour are second to none IMHO

Tony

Ps there was a SIDC group buy going on for Rally armour flaps

Thought it was about time I did a bit more............

Was fed up with the silver finish on the A/V panel and centre console, so decided to give it the "S206" treatment..............

Before...





After.....




Flat black with red pinstripe for the A/V panel and Semi gloss black for the centre console.

Think it worked out OK Tony

Mark,

Have found for most interior (and some exterior) plastic trim Tamiya Acrylic spray paint is more than up to the task, especially when combined with the appropriate clear lacquer finish.

It also dries very quickly with the aid of a hairdryer

Have also used the standard Tamiya acrylic pot paint with an airbrush when a particular shade/colour match is required.

Cheers,

The ornamental trim on the S206 is a high gloss black, whereas the standard 2011 saloon's is a semi gloss black finish.

Tried to match the centre console to this.

The dark grey/red stripe/black finish of the A/V panel now reflects the STi colour scheme.............
