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.....




Then a couple of working pics......





And then on with the re-trimming....






My helper :-)



Nearly finished





And re-fitted to the car.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
