My VL Executive

[owen18]

The holder piece thingy where u can put stuff in lol.. in your center console in front of the box, is that standard in vl's or is it from another model?

Well its my very first car and pretty much the first time ive really gotten into VLs so i just assumed it was standard. It sits in the loosely though so it could be from another model. We are talking about the same thing arent we?? (see image below).
I'll seee if i can find it on any others

Thats the sunglasses holder. Standard in Berlina, calais and probably BT1. Was also an option in SL and Execs.


You also have a tacho dash (turbo, berlina, calais) so it has been changed. Unless tacho dashes were an option in SL and execs.

nice & clean for a good price. you don't like the vk calais rims? you could do with the chrome door handles and maybe some $venetians$ and tint.
also a partition or a box to enclose the pod, it is sucking hot air like that and maybe take the old airbox base out (use pliers on the rubbers and a little wd40 from underneath if their tight.):thumbsup:

chrome door handles would look awesome, and venetians but are they hard to find?
Also where would i get the box for the pod filter, i tried autobarn and then got lazy

I wouldnt mind painting the dash some form of blue, but not sure what parts of the dash, whether it would be hard, and whether it would look anygood. I just seen a post on here of a VX or VT cant remember which was sprayed green, it looked good. But not sure in a VL

also, is there a trick to getting the stereos in VLs to sit flat, my slants upwards because it hits the top (just underneath air conditioning vents). You can see from the old stereo in pics how it slants.

Thanks

Im hesitant to hack at it, doesnt look thick enough so bit worried about piercing through to air con vent
