Gloss black trim instead of silver in VRS

Door and dash strips are from OctyNik's L&K. MFD surround is a beautiful custom job by Deepcar Autobodies. May change the gear knob, not sure.

Nice mod imo. :thumbup:

Yeah that looks great. I swapped my silver stereo surround for a black one, though it's only matte, it's nice having the darker cab area.

very nice :thumbup:

Presumably you did the rear doors too?

Also, the new style gear knob insert would complement the interior nicely, black with just a silver outline.

Nice.

Is that a VW?

;)

what a way to cheapen the look of a superior motor putting a VW badge in it :giggle:

Trim looking good but im happy with the standard but im sure I will take a mood some day and try this too :D

very smart and classy looking that, much better than the pretend alu plastic on the car.

Nice work Nick, maybe needs a little one in front of gaitor to marry it up, and you could ask Pasty boy to make you a black /chrome skoda badge for your wheel :thumbup:

Yeah, rear doors done. Thought about one of the new black gear knobs, but I'm not sure about the chrome.

Gloss black looks very smart.... I would also get gear gaiter surround and ashtray lid refinished to harmonise whole area... I am planning to change mine to piano gloss finish but in a really deep red

Very nice!

Audi S-line

:yes:

:thumbup:

Good mod! Like it a lot!

I'm hearing very good things about Deepcar Autobodies too :thumbup:

looks good nick :thumbup:

I actually went the other way on my 4x4 swapping matte black to silver - ties the whole dash together much better IMHO - each to thier own though eh?

That gloss black does look nice though - does it scratch easily (a consideration for anyone with small kids...)

I like the steering wheel. Would love to change mine, but I think for the cost and hassle I will just wait until I need a newer car :giggle:

Black gloss looks good too

How much work is involved in swapping over to the GTI wheel? It looks awesome.

The trim looks equally as good :D

Audi S-line [gear knob]

Definitely an option :thumbup:

Dave's a legend. Such a nice bloke.

The OEM L&K bits are terrible for scratching to be honest. You do have to be careful with them. :doh:

Straight forward swap Harry. Thread here... http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/204010-mk6-flat-bottom-mfsw/page__st__20

That looks so nice OP, really classy! Need to keep an eye open myself for the bits ;)

I may get the facelift L&K ashtray and gaiter surround. :thumbup:

sweet, very nice indeed.

No, the fl L&K ashtray etc are gloss black.

Didn't use any wrap, but I can imagine it would be a reasonable way of doing it. You'd still have to have the inserts out to do it properly though.

Ah I see only seen VRS FLs :thumbup: , so they are painted then, top job, are you going to the midlands meet tonight to show it off :yes:

iirc Brimma has explored the gloss black theme, very nice imo. :thumbup:
