How's the headlining removed and replaced btw?
Is it just a few plastic clips, that you can reuse? yeah few plastic clips and the grab handles and the sunvisors and the interior light. and then you gotta remove the black surrounds above the doors and then with some wiggling and bending time and space, the lining can be removed.

I think we need a part 3 and on the final part a big shot of the interior of the car so we can see it in all it's glory :3. I'm just waiting for the 'Twinkle Twinkle little star rally livery' I knew when i saw the star pattern in the shop many people wouldn't like it, it is conterversal, *spelling* which is part of the reason i was more determined to do it. Part 3........ well i've got a couple more things to trim, but i'm gonna have the leave the seats as they are, i'm sure i'll come up with something and some LEDs along the way I did mention star livery to the wife last night, and she said, 'your not touching the outside!' i laughed. And a big cheers to everyone else who commented :) |
not my glass of beer :) but its yours so do with it as you see fit and its looking good so far :)

Choice of material and taste is nothing short of horrendous. That's said it looks like you've done a good job though.
0/10 for taste 8/10 for workmanship. |

Lol you mention a website that slated a totally standard Limited Edition Astra 888 Coupe. They can slate anything so I'm not overly bothered if it ends up on there. It will be getting even more attention weather it's good or bad I don't care tbh. |

The fact that his lovely cute daughter is in the shots suggests it's probably her choice. Fair play to Dave for not pandering to stereotypes and doing something different.

Fair play on being a individual and trying to stand out in the crowd, we cant all be purists with these cars. I hate people putting stickers all over the car or sticking on plastic tat from halfords but it's upto them at the end of the day.
I would describe your work as different...... ;) |
i'm not a purist with any car, unless its a seriously limited edition, then it should remain that way imo.
|
tbh, not my thing, think its just too much. but that said looks like you done an ace job on the actual retrim.
cute little girl btw |
awsome fella if this really is for your lil one then good on you. as meny have said b4 me its not what i would do but im always happy to see someone having a go at being diffrent,ive seen loads of posts on here and other sites slagging off scoobies with body kits on or sti badges on a wrx,neons ect ect but in truth i like some of the kits out there,dont care about badges and dont dislike neons and so on,i think well done on doing what you wanna do with your car mate
|
wut in the fackin name that is all holy is that!?!
srsly I thought u did it for your kids benefit only, cute kid btw But the car cmon... Jesus Christ |
not my cup of tea, but none the less fair play to you for doing this for your daugher. I have a little boy and i would do anything that makes him happy.
dont worry about the haters on here, you car, your resasons for doing it, good luck. |
Good on you, as you say modding used to be about being different, and I've certainly not seen that before. My 2yo boy loves my car for what it is, but if he wanted me to do something like that I'd do it. I'm sure it didn't cost the earth, and is totally reversible.
I'd like to say go for lots of small LED in the roof, as that would look cool, but its not cheap that star cloth, : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LED-Star-Cloth...item2eb48d3daa |
