4g interior swap

You could have probably driven via mine then, but I'm away on a stag-do this weekend typically

I could catch you on my way back

We talking both door cards and all the seats? How is your carpet

I come back on Sunday, but I'm going to be partially dead, possibly literally, and then I've got a bbq to go to as well

Maybe next time?

EDIT: There's the rear cards as well by the way.

I would be in Plymouth for at least a week mate, putting off the drive home

Rear cards easy?

Not sure easy is the word. Doable yes, but I've still got the door cards fixed in the project lude, with no lower seats fitted, so could remove the rest quick enough for reference.

Well when you you be travelling home again? The weekend? Or would you be trying to miss the traffic?

I can go home whenever I want.

Currently, I am picking the car up and driving straight home, but my bro suggested visiting as I am over halfway there anyway, but it means an epic road trip home.

However, swapping my interior would sweeten the journey, with a possible stopoff at PAW thrown in.

What condition are your seats in?

Interior trim is fairly easy, just remove the rear seats and all the screws should be obvious. There are a few pop clips as well (did all this when I fitted the grey leather).

The centre console swap, from pre-facelift to post-facelift, is a nightmare. The easiest and best way to to get the correct mounting points involves cutting that part of the floor out and welding in the new one. You can also make up mounting brackets, which has been done, but is a royal pita. Note you'll also need new handbrake cables too. Suffice to say, I haven't bothered - I'm just not that desperate for a cupholder!

The digital clocks on the other hand, that swap is pretty easy: http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/wiki/in ... celift_car

I just though actually, have you actually seen my seats, as there are different patterns?

This is them from when I first picked up the car...

And this doesn't show much of them, but the picture is clearer and it's after I cleaned and put in my zebra mats...

Next weekend sometime would be the ideal time for me, so as we're not racing against the light, and I imagine you wouldn't want to be driving all that way that late anyway?

Yeah, given all you gain is a single cupholder - that and you loose the only useful storage box between the rear seats!

Give me a shout if you change the dials. Happy to help/answer q's
