m8ngn Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Lupo is looking spot on, glad you got a clean one.Just a word of advice if you are not already using it, get some 'Trim Fix' adhesive off ebay it's a high temp adhesive to do your door cards as most adhesives will give when the weather heats up..Looking forward to progress.Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just used normal carpet adhesive for my roof liner without researching so have ordered 2 cans of trimfix like you say (its at post office to collect well reminded lol) guna redo my roof as ended up being abit tatty towards the front of the car near the mirror.

Danyutz Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 head rests I removed and cut about 2 inches off the bottom of the rods with a junior hack saw.Don't they wobble around now, since you pretty much removed the locking points?

Danyutz Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Seems changing the bars to Arosa ones takes too much fuss, easier to chop them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
