Comments welcome, good or bad

Vent surround needs repainting before final fitting due to the hazard switch cable being a pain to re-connect

If it is you(rs), it is real!

Still have to do the rest though. (and the climatic does look a bit strange to me )

Happy New Year Bryan!

Cheers Mike, and the same to you sir

Us cheapskates have to slum it with climatic I'm afraid - the jury is still out on whether or not the rest gets done

Thx Bryan, if you do it, do it all. I like the bling, reminds me of the gold packages you could order on a Lexus in the states.

(although doing the door stripes is a bit of a hassle, as they are plastic welded)

Might involve lots of masking tape, newspaper and dustsheets :|

The trim above the Glove box is a nightmare to remove

You have to partly remove the Glovebox to get to the screws holding it on

Good luck

Bryan, there's a couple of pictures in here of a race blue corordinated interior that you may be interested in.

Happy New Year to everyone, hope it's going to be a prosperous, healthy and Skoda reliable 2012.

Thanks for that Mike, and a Happy New Year to you too

Not too sure about the blue trim, it's a bit 'in your face', whereas you hardly notice the gold

I considered doing my trims blue, though I'm surprised that blue looks as gash as it does. Very much like the styling of a fiat coupe.

The gold however looks a lot calmer, imagine it will suit your car well.

Looking good. I quite like the gold. Other bits need doing as well. I wrapped mine in 3m carbon. Now going to do it again in silver carbon. Can you get gold carbon? There's an idea...

Cheers for the positive comments

I might have purchased some in the past, but not that impressive

I already looked at the Dinoc in gold, it doesnt have that nice shine Bryans surround has.

And the gold Bryan uses fits the JPS more than the Dinoc.

The gold looks a lot better than the silver, much more subdued than the silver but still stylish enough. Can't wait to see the picture of the rest of the car done with the gold trim pieces. I think it will look top notch then.

I've just had to sit down for a while and take in the positive comments

To be honest I was expecting ridicule and derision

For the record, the paint is Wilkinson's finest metallic gold, at £5 odd per can

I'll balance that for you. Looks gash.

Fair do's, I'm sure your silver looks very............standard

But I'm 15 years off my mid life crisis so who knows what colour it will end up

Who says I'm having a crisis?

Looks cool - have you done the ashtray and gearstick surround in gold yet?

That might be a step too far, even for me

And there was me thinking the paint would be drying on them as I typed

No need to apologise Mr Page, each to their own :yes:

no offence, but

edit to add: You have made a nice job of painting it, though.
