Looking good mate! Was planning on spraying interior parts gloss also but have held out for while now due to stories of glare being an issue with the centre piece. Let me know how you get on with it.

Just finished the parts after flatting and polishing them,

Im just about to put the parts back in now, but all you have to do is pull the vents out on the passenger side and on the drivers light surround there are two torque screws that you undo and then for the center console there are 3 torques, 2 either side of the lower head unit and one at the bass towards the back off the trim

The top vent windscreen part is melted onto the dashboard and takes some grunt and a wedge to remove it, u just pull it really and keep constant pulling pressure wilst levering up!

I used glasurit 22line 2pac full gloss paint like i have on my mirrors and spoiler, its the blackest black there is and polishes up very well and doesnt fade in sunlight and all that!

I can do a guide on here like a quickie one,

But now to fitting it back.......................

That looks spot on mate :D I didnt think it would work well but having seen the pics it looks awesome, really classy.

It might cause a few issues in the Summer with the sunlight glare but it certainly does look well.

Yeh there's a guy rocking round in a silver Lupo with it who said it gets a bit glary, also another guy I know who's paint melted in the sun! If you do it right I guess that doesn't happen though.

Looks good mate, I will get round to doing this at some point 8)

I have seen the door handles done in Gloss black before and I think they look good.

Certainly will solve the peeling effect and will fit in nicely with dash parts so I reckon go for it! :D

What's next then after the interior bits? re-map??? 8)
