Re: White Grande Sporting

just used some white flexible plastic spray from halfords found it to be quite tough in the past, used primer first obv. taking the top part of the centre console apart is really difficult to do without breaking it!

Re: White Grande Sporting

Re: White Grande Sporting

Very nice indeed. Not sure if it will have too much white after its done - but theres only one way to find out

Especially like the white on the steering wheel button surrounds.

Re: White Grande Sporting

Looks good on the strip did you just use high temp glue to stick it straight on as its textured so i wasnt sure if you would be able to feel this through the suede.

Re: White Grande Sporting

used copydex, nothing special, only used a little bit of superglue on the dash to fit it again, is nice and solid

Re: White Grande Sporting

Looks good and definatly not over the top

Were the steering wheel button surrounds difficult to remove?

Re: White Grande Sporting

Lookin great. Wish i had the bottle to do the same lol. How did you get the dash panel (which you've covered in alcantara) off without breaking anything? Im not to sure how its held on

Re: White Grande Sporting

Pull it and break all the plasic welds then stick it back on.

Re: White Grande Sporting

Pull it and break all the plasic welds then stick it back on.

pretty much, just carefully, is very thin around the centre console so did it inch or so at a time, also remove the bottom bit of plastic from under the centre console that holds a bit of the dash in place. really wasnt that bad at all could have done it in couple hours if i wasn't doing other things.

thinking of painting the 'P' on the dash white to match with a red dot

yeah, do that

 

[rosshutchie]

Re: White Grande Sporting

Your giving me more ideas . Ill probably attempt something along those lines pretty soon now that i know how to tackle that dash fascia. Ill probably just spray the front pillars matt black as they do look a bit fiddly

Re: White Grande Sporting

Stop being a woman and trim them. Just have to take your time.

Re: White Grande Sporting

Forgive my ignorance but have you replaced the standard plastic trim with material? I am not to date with the internals of a GP. Thanks
