Well thanks to Baz for selling me the Arden blue air vent covers I have now decided to go ahead with my Arden Blue interior colour scheme.

The best bit is the wife is in full agreement and is also trying to talk me into doing the handles on the VXR wheel (I'm not sure on that one).

WhelanUK · 6:th-Nov-2014, 17:45:52

Looking good, what you doing with your old vents?

***Rusty2009*** · 6:th-Nov-2014, 18:14:34

Not sure mate not thought about it

WhelanUK · 6:th-Nov-2014, 18:15:17

If you sell them I'll have them off ya

***Rusty2009*** · 6:th-Nov-2014, 18:16:11

ok mate will let you know later

**SI SRI** · 6:th-Nov-2014, 21:47:10

**tucpal** · 6:th-Nov-2014, 21:47:56

Go one then mate

**JohnL** · 7:th-Nov-2014, 10:45:35

Looking good.

***Rusty2009*** · 7:th-Nov-2014, 18:34:01

A couple of photoshop's not very good as on a laptop and only a small patch or arden to use.

1.

2.

3.

WhelanUK · 7:th-Nov-2014, 18:42:41

The first one looks real good. How difficult is it to take off the chrome to do it?

**JohnL** · 7:th-Nov-2014, 18:50:34

I was going to do option 1 when I did the vinyl on the interior but wasn't sure how easy the metal would come off.

**tucpal** · 7:th-Nov-2014, 19:04:02

option one

***Rusty2009*** · 7:th-Nov-2014, 20:04:48

I'm not sure it should just pull off as it goes on after the leather.

i prefer option 3 so do the kids and wife

problem is it will be expensive test if it's wrong.

**Cameron UK** · 7:th-Nov-2014, 20:37:31

Option 1, I might go red after looking at his!

***Rusty2009*** · 7:th-Nov-2014, 21:48:32

Why can't you get Arden blue plastidip?

**cornishtaz** · 8:th-Nov-2014, 13:52:27

Only my personal opinion but none look good think it needs to stay brushed chrome

***Rusty2009*** · 13:th-Dec-2014, 12:08:19

No this with maybe a gloss black line to separate them.

***Rusty2009*** · 13:th-Dec-2014, 17:20:29

Well done the 2nd colour,

Just the black line to go now then clear coat.

Also had a spare surround so thought I'd play with that, did a half and half to get an idea,

Put together I think I was right in thinking the grey would go better,

100% sold on the gray rusty

**SI SRI** · 14:th-Dec-2014, 01:37:24

Brilliant mate.

**JohnL** · 14:th-Dec-2014, 12:55:26

Have you not fitted it in the car yet? Its looking good

***Rusty2009*** · 14:th-Dec-2014, 13:09:30

JohnL Wrote:Have you not fitted it in the car yet? Its looking good

No I've not I've found a defect which it only showed up in the right light, so had to rub it back as I knew it would bug the hell out of me if I didn't, I've got the LCD surround done ready to go in though.

Really annoyed.

***Rusty2009*** · 14:th-Dec-2014, 15:18:58

LCD surround fitted.

Before

After

After with screen on

Looks a little odd ATM but I think once the fascia is in it will look spot on.

**cornishtaz** · 16:th-Dec-2014, 17:56:23

***Lewis6317*** · 16:th-Dec-2014, 18:02:23

**cornishtaz** · 16:th-Dec-2014, 18:07:34

Ok mate I'll even fit it for you

***Lewis6317*** · 16:th-Dec-2014, 18:19:50

Lol i have decided on weather to do that or not yet mate lol...
My ocd is bad so it would bug me that the door trims would be different.

**Migwell030744** · 18:th-Dec-2014, 18:16:54

You need to do ALL the lights blue, Including the lights in the door handles and switches and I think the foot well lights should also match. I know that the OCD is coming in heavy but I think everything should be the same and finish with the red if you are going down that route.

**J1ODYA** · 19:th-Dec-2014, 21:30:58

Rusty, think about what you're doing... Eek
