Interior Retrim Question

Has anybody had any interior work done professionally? I want to get mine re done in black vinyl w/ the small pressed diamond pattern and am trying to get a rough idea of how much coin it will set me back.

Which area's are you thinking of having done? It's a big time consuming to clear out the old stuff, but installing new stuff is amazingly easy. I've just redone all the carpets, resurfaced/coloured the back panels and headlining in my 2+2, and aside from taking the glass out for the headlining, the entire process is doable on your own, although a second set of hands is some benefit.

Sorry I can't be of help to your original intentions, but have a look into it.

I got a diamond vinyl kit from MSA. I have only test fitted it so far but it looks pretty good. They even put the slot for the hand brake on the correct side 

Sounds good! Let me know how it fits once you get it in. Thinking I might snap one up and get postage combined with the bre spoiler they have.

Fitted it on the weekend.

Problems.

1. The handbrake hole was not correct. I had to cut into it to extend the whole upwards. I believe this will be covered though by the shift boot when I get it.

2. The luggage riser trim is too wide, there is about 1 cm on the riser around the console hump that is not covered. I plan to fix this by cutting up some extra bits that hang under the carpets and put them in the gaps.

3. I haven't fitted the strut tower and wheel area bits, but they look to be too big. Again I think this is fixable.

Overall, a couple of problems but nothing too bad, can still get it to work. These could be cause by the fact I'm fitting a 240 kit into a 260.

Cheers,

Yes I think you'll find that a 240 kit doesn't fit all that well around the rear strut towers as the 260s differed in shape & the later 260s differed again. Do you have the original old ones to use as a pattern?

Yeah original ones are still on. They are in good condition but would have had to have been ripped off anyway cause I have weld in camber plates going in soon.

Will just need a bit of a chop I think to get the 240 ones to fit, but will not be noticeable if I get it right. I just always liked the diamond vinyl look so got the 240 set.
