Polo96CL's Progress Thread - SOLD SOLD SOLD :(

[Polo96CL]

Cheers guys, means a lot

Not much progress on the bumper, not had the time so its still half welded. Again no further with the dash, It can be fitted pretty easily from what I can gather, but with the canbus issue on the clocks i've not bothered for now. Hopefully i'll be getting a GTi Mk5 come summer so wont need to take this one much further. Only think i'd wanna do is get the dash done and touch it up. If I had the time i'd get the pillars, seals and headlining of the interior retrimmed in black so it would really finish it off inside.

Still waiting for my LED Festoon bulb, will update it with a picture when it arrives

[Polo96CL]

Got my LED Festoon bulb, looks much better than the original and really lights up the cabin. Think i'd try for the 2 strip LED next time though just to make it slightly brighter, i'm impressed though! Got then from UltraLEDS, recommended by Tim and i'd use again - pity the postage is £2.88 for how small it was.

Also got some TT pedal covers coming which should be nice, was thinking about chrome door handles now i've had the doorcards retrimmed but think they might look a bit chavy and not very OEM, but Mk5's have them right?

Anyone know where I can get Mk5 Polo GTi mats from? I would like some in the 6n, I think the interior would be pretty much finished for me if I had some.

[Polo96CL]

Cleaned out the interior today, hoovered all out then treated the leather. God it smells nice, can't beat the feeling of freshly creamed recaro nappa leather thats for sure! Nothing new really,

TT Pedal covers on their way

Got to get the following now, Mostly a big roll of suede!

Black Suede Pillars
Black Suede Headlining
Audi Black Visors
Lupo GTi interior light

Some pics so far, anyone think chrome door handles like the mk5 would look good?

[Dub-Ninja]

I absolutely adore that interior!
I wonder what it would look like with a dragon green instead of that red.
Hmmm.
Probably not as nice as this.
Keep it up!

[Polo96CL]

Cheers mate

It looks so much better in real life now i've cleaned it up, the camera I have cannot do the red correctly by either making it pink or by making it orange haha. Yet the door cards come out fine, weird!?

There is a green colour concept interior but its more of a lighter more in your face green, but I don't see why you couldn't get a set retrimmed in them, only wouldn't have that "Colour Concept" embossed at the top.

Anyone know where I can find some 6n2 GTi Mats?

[racerjonzo]

hey i had a wee look for gti mats, to no avail, just plain polo mats though;
herehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Polo-1994-2002 ... 2c52cd6e64

all the gti ones are, is with a red piping, and surely with your skills, tht should be a doddle? eh?

[Polo96CL]

Yeah I could do but I think by the time i've found the piping and fitted it + costs I might of well got some used

I don't think my mum would be too happy if I got her stitch the edging on!

But thanks for the link, give me a shout if you see any

[Juan_Mk4]

Hey... quick question. in page 15 is when you installed your roof spoiler, what kind of adhesive material did you use to get it on. Any advice will be great

[Polo96CL]

Tigerseal mate, available at any good motor factors. Hope that helps

[I-Roo]

must say i love what you have done with this car totally changed my opinion on 6n's

[Polo96CL]

Thanks mate, glad you like it

TT Pedals coming tomorrow, hopefully order my interior roll today aswell.

Can someone send me some pointers to the following parts?

6N2 GTi Front mats in red (+ rears if they sell them)
Black Suede roll

Also been thinking about changing the colour of the switches, maybe to the ibiza red ones?

Thoughts?

[Polo96CL]

Also tried to negotiate getting some Mk5 Polo GTi seatbelts with the red trim down from £69.99 + £12.50 shipping but he wont move at all so not going to bother. Shame really, they have been on the bay for at least 2 months now, must have cost him £10 to relist so many times he'd be losing money soon!

[racerjonzo]

ebays a great place, can buy seat belts by the roll on there, different widths and colours, get some dark red ones similar to gti's
same with suede ebay is a magical place lol

dont change switches, swap the dash already lol
almost got the layout for the re-wring done, so will prob attempt it this weekend, and if all goes well i shall post with pics and a walkthrough

[Polo96CL]

Well I've ordered my suede so some pictures to come when I start retrimming. Got enough for the headlining aswell, but think I might source the lupo GTi interior mirror and the cabrio visors first so I can put them straight on.

TT pedals arrived, got the brake and clutch on but the accelerator looks too small so might have to chop and glue that one on. Think i'll leave the switches for now, maybe something to consider if I see an ibiza at a scrappy

[Tim_GTi]

TT RHD drive one is really really small. You need a LHD one which also needs glueing.
