Been doin some interior parts in gloss, bit tricky to remove the windscreen vent as its melted in from factory, heres some pics!





These are the parts all sprayed in primer and rubbed down for some proper gloss blacking lol!



These are the dash bits all in gloss and other parts!

Gun finish any1 haha! i am good!





And a little cheeky sticker iv moved around abit, notice what i have done??

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.

Yeah as Tim sad, I think this is a great idea. Should look the part! Get some finished pics up.

Looking Good mate

Be nice to see it when their back fitted to the car.

Ben,

how did you get the parts out ?

did you laquer it? got a guide on what you did?

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.......................

HERE THEY ARE FITTED! PICS FROM MY HD PHONE GUYS!

GLARE ISNT THAT BAD AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, HAD THE CAMERA RIGHT UP AGAINST THE HEAD UNIT!

3 SCREWS LOCATED HERE WERE U CAN SEE THEM

THOSE SILVER PRONGS U NEED TO PUSH IN TO RELEASE THE HAZARD SWITCH



THERE ARE TWO PRONGS HERE ASWELL YOU NEED TO PUSH DOWN AND THEN PUSH WHOLE UNIT BACK TO REMOVE THAT

I was thinking to make the same work, but i wasnt sure is it looking good. Now i am sure it looks cool GG

That looks spot on mate 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.

Ben

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

Well I love it! Top work lad. VW should've made the polo interior like this from standard IMO.

cheers guys n girls, had the sun beating down onit wilst i was fitting it and it was kinda glary but nothing sunglasses wont sort out lol!

Yeah deffo looks the part now, really really happy!

Paint melting oh dear, deffo never heard of that but im a proffesional spray painter so fingers crossed it'l stay on

got my head lining on order but i dont know wether to do the handles on my interior doors???????? what we think?

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!

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

Ben,

Yeah a remap after me sports cat and cat back from scorpion!

Goin to AMD hoping just to tie in the mods as apposed to maxing the engine out all the time ya know! And some dish lol!
