Sell it to a Chav for ££££\'s and put a neat little gauge in there instead to cover the holes.

All joking aside,

the big gauge you guys wanna get rid of i really wanted a while back, are they really that annoying??? as i would have thought on the drag strip the change gear light would be really efective no??:confused:
Title: oh.. my fd interior is ugly! Suggestions??
Post by: Adam on October 08, 2004, 03:52:11 PM
Yeah i guess so but because i\'m not  taking my car onto drag strips, i don\'t need it.  It\'s all down to personal taste and choice....

cheers

Adam - hmmm.. might keep it. IT has got a certain appeal. But need power to match ;) Having said that, I do intend to use mine for the strip so might be worth keeping.

Jin - if you want a set of these, let me know. Will be getting some stuff from Japan in a few weeks. That is if Adam has not already offered to source them for you.

cheers

ditch the rev counter.  either that or retrim your seats in burberry to match  ;)   and go and buy a big TURBO or INJECTION sticker for the boot. :rollin

Seriously though your interior isnt ugly.  You just need to lose the rev counter and perhaps reconsider the red dash.  You might find its easier to swap the red dash with someone who wants it, or simply buy a standard dash, rather than attempting to re-paint the red one (its a lot of work, so unless you really want a sprayed dash just stick a standard one in)

If I painted mine I would only do it shiny black or silver... I\'m not really big on coloured interiors, but then I know a lot of people are....

How much are those gauges?? might be intersted !!

Post by: Freddy on October 11, 2004, 06:23:14 AM
Carbon Film sounds good. Its something that crossed my mind. I have no intention of spraying it thou. Too much work for a lazy man like me. Will just get a standard one ;)

The rev counter is starting to grow on me, so I may just keep it on for a bit. Will run its cord from a different point on the dash.

Chris p... will pm you a price this week :)

hi,

i\'ve been meaning to do my interior for AGES, but money/ new job/ time has held me back. i should be getting gauges in next week, then i\'ll concentrate on the interior.

i put a post up a while back about the interior, thought it might be relevant, check it out:
