My Impreza Re-trim and DEEP clean (pic heavy)
 

Started re-trimming my Impreza, only done the door panels today, gonna do the headlining with some other material and crack open the spray paint for some other bits and pieces :-)

Along with doing the panels, i also got the interior out and got the carpet cleaner out, and cleansed the seats to get rid of the ciggy smoke smell, and to clean them! its a whole lot better! you wouldn't believe how much gunk came out of the seats.

Starting with the gunk.....

Interesting choice of trim there!
I guess it keeps the nipper happy though eh?
And it could be worse, you could have trimmed it
with peppa pig or even spongebob square pants :lol1:

I'm seeing stars. :D

Not the material I would of used, but hey. Nice work though fella.

What material would you have used mate? N cheers :-)

just out of interest how did you trim the panels,are they glued down and just cut around the edges or can the panel be removed.

Great job but I am not showing my girls this as I had enough trouble when I painted the wheels black and not pink

removed them as shown, cut material down and stuck to the panel, the trimmed off excess with a stanley knife.

It's different I'll give you that. Newxt up though, get rid of those GOD awful rear lights :(

them GOD awful rear lights were meant to be the 1st things to go! weather should be spot on tomorrow, so i'm gonna refit the standard ones, and modify them to have a fog light on both sides rather than just the right.

looks cool that mate, just out of interest, what type of glue did you use and did you just stick it onto the existing material? Ive got some re trimming to do myself but wasn't sure what the best glue to use? Thanks

hi just made an account can make my own posts 4 sum reason, so could some repost my question were it can been seen by lots of people.

i have a turbo 2000 on a w reg and am havin trouble with my insurance because i dnt no the make and model of my imobiliser, and have no paper were 4 it. but my car has got one. can some tell me a make a model of a cat1 from around this time chears

cheers, i used spray glue from Hobby Craft. and stuck it on to the material already there, so it can just be peeled off. and glue cleaned up.

hey mate, welcome to the site.

i'll dig out my paperwork when i get a spare 5 mins, until then, best bet is to start your own thread, chances are it will get more views than this one.

Excellent, Thanks, Makes me more confident to give it a go now cheers :thumb:

its pretty easy to do mate, just gotta take your time and try not to slice the door panel like i did in one spot....

Good man.

You should have fitted that material with the stars glow-in-the-dark :D

cant do it mate, think its coz ive only just sined up

Hi Pete, if yours is a UK car and I suspect it is as you describe it as a Turbo 2000 then it'll have two separate immobilisation systems. It'll have the Japanese factory fit category 2 compatible system that uses the transponder in the key and a Sigma M30 category 1 alarm/immobiliser (which were installed by the importers after the cars arrived in this country). Hope that helps and of coruse the above assumes the factory fitment is still in the car and hasn't been replaced. The fobs will be blue and have a single button if it is the M30. :thumb:

ahhh ok, sorry, gimmie 2 mins

they have been considered...........................;)

chears f1 fan, u just saved me from havin my insurence canceled!
