VR6 Storm (Mystic Blue) complete renovation

Recommended Posts

I've had this Storm for over 2 yrs now and with 96k on the clock and a lovely strong engine I decided I could no longer live with the bumps and scraps on the body hence a full body renovation was in order.

Loved driving the sweet v6 home, really missed her.

 

Drove her to work this morning and seem to have "Lost" 1x BBS RS301 Centre cap between 18:10 last night and 6:30a.m this morning : ((((((

Very nice indeed, did you remove the back windows? Easy enough to do/replace?

Any more pics of the headlining etc :)

Yeah took all the side windows out but left front and rear as these are bonded. The sides are easy.

 

Will take a few better photos at the weekend when we might have some sun! Head liners are hard things to photograph though. I used Southwest Trimmers in Calne, Approx. £125 inc. dying the sunroof seal but the only problem is that the light / sun roof switch is only available on Ebay at around £100 as it needs to come out of a rare MK3.

Nice one, I know about the costly switches lol

 

When you say the back windows are easy, any more info, like a quick how to do :lol:

Nice job, very satisfying having fresh paint on a older car, getting rid of all the little annoying bits you notice every time you wash it.

 

Not quite so keen on the RS centres, kind of steals the fire of the body work, but that's just my opinion :thumbleft:

 

Meant to say, love the plate :thumbleft:

Yeah I have a fresh set of Solitudes for the winter and actually strangely agree with you on the centres, it was something I'd wanted for the last 10 yrs but now real that darker colours don't really work.

Just cut the glue from the inside with a long sharp knife and they come out real easy
