    Hahaha you're damn right there mate, how far are you going with it? I got abit excited with mine and did white everything, whole dash, center console, pillars, roof lining & parcel shelf
    Also fitted VT seats front & rear, it's worth the frustration in the end, 100x more comfy.

    I'll show you a pic of the interior if you want?

    Haha I was thinking just that, would be shining off everything in that car straight into your eyes hahaha!

    With painting the plastic do you have to apply like a clear coat over the top to stop the colour from being scratched off or what's the go?

    Hahaha yes, vey.. very painfull.
    With the plastics, they're just straight gloss 2pak paint, so no need for clear coating.
    Im a spraypainter apprentice so I got it done properly & free
