Re: Tims Chestnut Brown R
Started blacking out the cockpit on the van..
still waiting on deliveries for the carpet dye for the roof and PlastX paint for the pillars.
Has anyone tried the cheer blossom shoe polish method of staining grey plastics? a mate of mine has done it on his T4 and looks incredible.

I used cherry blossom on my dads plastic bumpers, been over a year, outside in all weather and still looks black. Be careful cos it stains everything you touch with it

Almost finished fully blacking out the interior of the Cabin!
Used PlastX paint and AutoBrite Dye for the roof lining which i highly recommend!
Got a mk4 R32/Leon Cupra black roof light installed..(plug and play!!)
Also waiting for the postman to deliver my Black grab handles and sun visor retention clips.

Re: Tims Chestnut Brown R
I have a 5 litre container of autobrite, tried it on plastic, not good. I reckon I’m going to need more than one can for a maxi life including the shelf. Maybe have to do it in sections as money allows

Re: Tims Chestnut Brown R
yes the AutoBrite deffo doesn't work on plastics only the roof lining! i recommend the PlastX stuff along as your prep it properly and do thin coats looks factory!

Hi @Timw144
I’ve had driver’s side A pillar off before on mine, and it was a bit of a phaff when the W8 went in.
Any chance on a quick run through of any problems with the B pillar ? Seat belt etc mate ?

Re: Tims Chestnut Brown R
The B pillar is easy as the A pillar to get off
I have lost two of the clips ( one each side down) into the depths of somewhere
you need to take off the parcel shelf to get off the B Pillar so best off doing it in a oner..
i have found out this kit from eBay very helpful in all my carpeting gives you black replacements for most bits.
