Flocked definitely the plastics painted would never match the dash, you'd end up having to paint that too. I'm gonna make a start on mine.

i did the upper plastics by p180'ing them very briefly, then p400'd... then prime, then p400 briefly then clean and matt black iirc... the roof lining i just lashed gloss black strate on.
the upper plastics are still MINT and look like their factory done, even after having a 10ft trampoline in the back and bashing them...
the roof cloth however isnt bad but id personally do it with some sort of suede fabric or something... maybe flock...
its feels a bit rough and has some hardly noticeable marks were people have caught it but its not like you drive around scratching your roof lining though...
serious though, no need spending decent dolla on getting the upper plastics done when poundstore paint does the job mint...

also look into getting various dash plastics done gloss black or something maybe...? done a few in mine and done a great job i did another few bits and sold a centre and mfd for £25

Real nice car and defiantly a head turner no doubt about that

Correct me if I'm wrong but have u 100mm springs in the rear and if so what's the driving like?

I had GAZ coilovers in mine at the rear but took them out due to running into afew problems,now I have GMAX shocks and 60mm in but sits to high for me so im thinking about getting the compressed or buying a set if anyone member is selling some....

thanks nath, yes they are 100mm rear springs and Spax shortened shocks drives mint IMO its not a bouncy ride i think personally it handles really good and am happy with the set up

i was going to change my rear set up to GAZ extra shortened coilies cause i wanted to go a little lower?

Just got my rear gazs in kev, they are the ultra low kit and it sits at your height at the moment although it hasn't settled yet so no doubt will come down more

How much lower you got to go down on the rear darryl if it's sitting about 100mm now?

+ Jeddy won't hurt it to go down a little bit more

It's come down to just below the top of the alloy at the moment, not sure what mm that is but it still needs to settle properly as they're new
