Interior change
#1
Hey guys

Just had a change in the interior so thought I would share.

When I first got my GTC I always said to myself that I wanted the red interior lighting to be blue but at the time didn't know it could be something that could be done until I saw Baz,s VXR and I litreally fell in love with it straight away and put it on the to do list.

I want to give a big thanks to rusty for some of the parts and a special big thank you to Baz for making the whole interior happen full stop as it wouldn't of happened if it wasn't for him

Thanks guys

There's some pics below and if anybody's interested contact cornishtaz.

I also picked up some vxr wheels today which will be geting refurbished and having the grey bit sprayed gloss black let me know people's thoughts and ideas on the gloss black with the Dimond cut.

thanks

Oh wow!!! I LOVE the blue!!! Do you mind me asking how much it cost to have all that done? I'd be looking at doing the same at some point...

What does the centre display look like?

Been debating between a full blue or white conversion

Blue is so much better! Always remember as a kid I had a Casio watch with a blue backlight and thought I was the dogs because it was different from the normal dingy orange or green. Ha.

Black gloss would be nice. If my car hadn't of been black I'd of had mine done

@sheppy1 no problem it was £160 for one colour but as he done such a great job I gave £170.

I think it would go well with the colour of your car

@WhelanUK yeah the centre looks all good need to take some more pics Tommorow as i forgot that pic.

I'm not sure about all white but saying that I've not seen it but either way it's a winner

Looks real good mate much better then standard. So confused what to go for.

@Rusty2009 did you have any photos from when you tried white?

Cheers mate

I've not seen white before but can imagine it being abit to bright as the blue can be a tad. But it deffinatly would be different to the norm and would go good with your car being white

Yeah that's my thinking but the blue does look good. Love the needles colour.
