Richie's VT Exec - VX SS Kitted - A tidy 6 banger

they light up a warm white aka piss yellow lol but I dont mind it

ahhhh that’s not good - need to find someone to change that up

Decided to slip the gauges into their new home & decided to grab a couple photos for Jecs.

And found a fix for the colour of the lighting from the gauges - T10 LED’s fit so off I go!

 

[Fu Manchu]

old rear grey trims off & new black trims on - now just to repeat for the front.

whilst everything was apart I deadened the doors & re-sealed the door with the car builders product as the original plastic sheet was hammered.

I should have done this on the cross 8. Are you happy with the result?

Also, for the gauges, is that the surround from the sat nav?

Yeah it all seems less tinny/more solid - just a painfully slow process

re: Gauge Surround - yep,in this version I’ve trimmed down the passenger side of it to accept the factory phone mount too.

Wrapped up the last of the doors - just need to put the trims back on & then get into the boot.

Boot all done, need to do my bootlid eventually - just need to figure out if I need a new lid etc (damage behind the garnish)

Random bits going in:

carbon fibre cup holder base thanks to Matt from MRC Waterjet cutting - random things like this make me happier than you could imagine.

Also, factory scuff plates are in

Mistakes were made ‍♂

In other news, interior is in bits & ive been fitting black rooflining bits. I’m tidying up the wiring for my dash camera and such.

will be deadening the roof cavity once the next box arrives from Lowe Fabrications.

More random things that no-one will ever notice - painting the the carpet from the newer models so I don’t have to change the carpets...

basically keep black plastic but ditching the black carpet.

Left is painted and right is what came out of the car.

just got the car back from my mate who showed the car all the love in the form of a 3stage correction & ceramic coat - looks so good in person.

Did you paint/spray the door pillars silver ?
