Kenny from the forum is selling me them and helping to fit them which is very kind indeed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted April 21, 2016 Mega easy to fit so you should have them all replaced in about 30 mins! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted April 21, 2016 Mega easy to fit so you should have them all replaced in about 30 mins! Really... So what's the secret to getting the front door card on.. I can never get the door pin through the door card hole while locating the top trim. Last time I was fishing the pin through with a piece of string. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massbad69 10 Posted April 21, 2016 Had to hastily buy some Alpine 6.5" speakers for the Audioscape door pods before fitting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cressa 44 Posted April 21, 2016 I bought some clips from TPS the other month. Not expensive either Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
massbad69 10 Posted April 21, 2016 Kenny has a few spare and I've got a few as well from a wee job lot I bought on this forum. Wish list still has a few things on it but there's no cash in the pot left but plenty time - Stainless exhaust Decent headunit Bigger wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cressa 44 Posted April 21, 2016 Can I duplicate that wish list. Must do the lottery. . Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I was fishing the pin through with a piece of string. :) Exactly this! :thumbleft: I've obviously spent an age doing the same thing in the past, so its dead simple once you prepare for it and have a bit of cotton/string handy. The seats can be had in and out in 10 minutes, a couple of bolts to undo the seatbelts for the rear cards (and new clips help as mentioned). Front door cards are easy once you've done them before, its just finding what has to be removed and how first. (Door pin and surround, door pull surround - slide forward, 3 outer screws - stubby screwdriver for the one closest the dash, pull off grab handle cover, 2 screws for the grab handle, and the hidden screw behind it. Lift away gently, and disconnect speaker wires and window switch. Job done!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massbad69 10 Posted April 24, 2016 (edited) Removed the mint black cloth interior, cleaned everything, fitted grey leather interior with the Audioscape door pods and new Alpine speakers with the help of Kenny from this forum. Removed the black sill protectors with brushed stainless ones, then fitted the 20mm rear spacers. Finished with cleaning and moisturising the new seats and cards. Cleaned the washer bottle and changed the top to a new black one. Edited April 24, 2016 by massbad69 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

massbad69 10 Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) HELP Would these wheels fit my car. They are 5x120 8j, so I would need 20mm 5x120 to 5x100 adapters. Car has the Bilstein b12 kit fitted and I would get 205 40 17 tyres. Any help is greatly appreciated. Edited May 2, 2016 by massbad69 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But with the adapters and 8j wide would they be too wide or look too big ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
