Thankyou for all the comments :) yeahh I do like them as they are but I think I would like them white tooo ,lol or I mite just go the VW on the centre caps white just for now till I make my mind up , yehh I painted the inside of the badge white to match the car and I think it looks quite good with the silver soo maybe I should leave the g6O's as they are, maybe get them polished, because I want to keep the silver badgee hmm ..... And I loved the megs, think its a great product , it gets rid of all sorts of gunk that you don't realise is there, and ur paint work comes up stunning :)

good job on the cards, wouldnt think paint would have stuck to the fabric so well. go for the suede headliner, think i'm going to do a carbon synthetic leather headliner.

not sure on the lupo badge though, but hey, its different :thumbsup:

I had a similar issue when I fitted pop-out rear windows - had to get new C-pillars and the ones I got were a mucky white, so I went to an "art shop" and they sold me some acrylic paint. It goes straight on the fabric and causes it to feel a little rougher, but they don't look "painted" if you know what I mean! :)

It's cool when people do things that little bit different from the masses, so well done!

Get some more pics up with your progress Michelle :thumbsup:
