Default The leather console cover rocks

On Monday I spent an hour and a half (DIY numptie) installing Rick's console cover and it is the dogs danglies. The fit is absolutely flush and I was lucky not to get any wrinkles. It transforms the interior of my FY00. I always thought the carpet looked cheap, now it looks as you'd expect the S to look inside. I ummed and aahed on whether to get red or black and finally opted for the red to match my interior. Pleased I did as it matches really well and looks superb.

Big to GSi for organising the group buy.

All I need now are some Muz mats...

Glad you like it. Did you fit it with your eyes closed? That is the only thing that I can think of to explain the extended fitting period

Muz mats will certainly cover more carpet and improve the interior


oh and pics?

I'll take some pics tonight and post them.

As for the fitting time, slow and steady with my bodging. Although the end result was worth the time.

I'll see if I can get some pics of mine sorted today.. Done a few mods recently and suppose I should (in true s2ki tradition) post some pics of them.

We bought them from http://www.ricks2k.com as part of a Group buy which I organised. With some sale discount, a further group buy discount and some decent exchange rates, they came to about

Here they come.... The reolsution makes the photos looks a bit wired with some colour distortion on the red parts.







I can't believe the difference it makes to the look of the interior. Well worth it.
