OK the ''interesting'' shade of brown that is my interior is starting to loose is's novalty value, is there any kind of paint that stays slightly flexible that i can use on the doorcards? acrylic?

or i think theres a K10 with a grey interior in a local scrapper... how much should i be looking to pay for dash, doorcards, seats and carpet, i am having the dials anyway because i need a clock and they only show 55K (my car has done 59)

fitted a different CD player and it has no clock, maby i should actually ware my watch:suspect:

Its been done loads of time, you something to smooth it down, as it can't be all bumpy like it is currently, then i spose a plastic paint just for going over the parts required as the doorcards will be slightly flexible, correct me if im wrong please guys...

I know the one your talking about, the dark blue with the white stickers on the dash...

But here is a K11 version

that dashbord does look crap

that dashbord does look crap

I'd agree... but technically it doesn't!
I don't like it, i like to keep it simple!
It's well made though and probably appeals to other people.
Nice work to whoever done it!

It would probably be easier to recover the doorcards than spray them, then you can spray the dash with halfords paint, using plastic primer. I sanded the grain off on my dash, alot of work but worth the effort if you have the patience. I will try and find some pics.

you can buy crackle effect paint that you can use on top of other colours i wanted to do it to my old car and spray it black but have red the same as the car comming from underneath in the cracks! il have a look for a pic somewhere! it looked awesome on the can! but i never got around to it! i might do one day though

 

[D4R73N]

The wind-up windows really ruin that car

 

[james betley]

and the stearing wheel does not suit the car

 

[stonesie]

hmmm wont be going that far but a black dash sounds cool:devil:

Might still get the grey carpet though.

 

[Ems]

If u get a black dash get a dark carpet, mine was all grey, it's now a super s interior with silver vents in the dash, and silver and black doorcards. Been meaning to do it for ages, just glad i finally have. The car's silver so it all goes well!!

[bombz4]

[micra man]

Here is my old interior... New one is much better that I have done, just no finished car for it to go into.

 

[bombz4]

im kinda affraid to do it but maybe il use the one from my old k10 spray it up and if its any good put it in the super s!

 

[Ems]

Always use old parts u don't mind messin up. I had two sets of normal plastics.

I think micra man's old interior is by far the best i've ever seen (pic with the blue bucket seats) .

 

[stonesie]

I like the dials lighting up blue.... it that difficult to do on these?

also have use of a random-orbital air sander at work....... could be handy for the smooooth look:grinning:

 

[james betley]

Thanks Neill. I did love the interior when it was like that. Here are a few more pics of my old/new interior. Shame it aint in the finished car though. May give some of you a few ideas though. Unfortunately never got some of it finished, but maybe when I have a bit more time it will get done.
