Painted trims & centre consol..

Top job
+ I'm in same opinion with steering wheel, bit too bright.

Would be nice to see a pic from a distance showing the white with the colour of the car

Thanks for the positive feedback!

Whole point of this project was to brighten up the interior as I find the e85 interior a little bit dull and bland. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I like it & it's a massive improvement on the brushed alloy which was looking really tired.

I like to stay oem but this was a cheap car to buy, not a rare alpina or anything, so I don't mind changing a few things.

I'd like to do the three middle dial surrounds and the two speedo/rev counter surrounds. I'm not sure how easily these come apart though, anyone tried??

Regards dial surrounds:

You might be lucky as I did by just using pry tools, they are very well stuck in there (3 tabs on each)

If not: The centre vents & head unit have to come out to release the two screws holding the AC controls in place!

Sorry buddy. I just am not feeling the white. However congratulations on trying something new and making it your own.
