Mr G, your vent gauges look awesome, how did you make that or where did you buy it??
one of the cleanest installs i've seen yet!!
I'm honoured mr g!!! never seen your build thread and i'm touched that I was the one who provided the inspiration.
You did a very good job mate, as i said earlier, one of the best i've ever seen
You should try flocking it, gives a real nice finish and it's not too hard at all.
pic of mine
it would be better if the Profec was black
Here my new one finished it last week, sorry its only a crappy phone pic

Hey Mate,
Good job there! What did you use to fill the wholes and make the Apexi gear fit?? Is your car white??
Cheers m8
I started with this
Then i used p40 to attach the stereo surround and used some body work mesh stuff to fill the big hole.
The rest is p38 (apart from the two shelf things i made to sit the apexi stuff on) and lots of sanding.
No my cars not white its indigo, but soon i should have white wheel and my roll cage will be white (when it arrives)
I agree, well maybe not better than mine
lot of work gone into it too no doubt! I hope you used plasticiser on it, else it will be flakey flakey soon
Cheers for the comments
And just to go with the flow here's my install... both of these pics are of my install unfinished but its now completed, well has been for ages only now that i went searching for a nice pic i realized that i haven't taken any since completing it, but i will do whenever i take the car out of the garage as its too narrow and awkward to go take a quick pic.
what are the 2 what look like rca points for? (in white next to the fag lighter)
I just finished my new centre console last night ...... late last night!
took a hell of a lot of work.... but i'm pretty happy with the result.......
And Now let me just say straight away.......
This is REAL Carbon Fibre !!!!!
well Carbon Fibre on a wood frame on a metal bracket support..... but yep... the real deal!
What ye reckon ?
Got it on ebay....
but its good quality..... a skin a few mm thick of proper carbon fibre.... that i combined with my wood frame.
Jebus.... but it's tough stuff
You can buy varying degrees of thickness, weave or shine.
If anything.... I think mine is a little too shiney.... but it wont stick out so bad when i do the area around the gearstick,,, and eventually the bit around the heater controls.
Nice work there. Kudos for using proper CF too. The covers you see on other consoles always look like just that - covers. Good luck with the top section.
In the ashtray hole, then 3 gauges in the din slot. Saves losing your vents.
they're 3 actually only 1 of them has a cover on and the others hadn't ... the red and white are left-right inputs for me to plug in whatever i want into the car radio and the white one is a video output so if i get or borrow a bigger screen i can watch DVDs on it as the radio reads all sorts of DVDs VCDs and stuff like that but the screen is too small to watch anything on it... i'm not planing on getting any screens atm but i thought it was a usefull thing to put there...
