Evening :).

I was thinking of buying a can of plasti dip and spraying all the silver plastic next to the handbrake and Stereo fascia to gloss red to match the rest of my red theme that I currently have. Has any body made any other colour changes to their interior?

    Does anyone have any recommendations for what to do this in?

    I was thinking about a nice black gloss finish, but can't help think it will look awful within a few months

    I hate the silver interior, thought about buying carbon wrap, but having seen some people's that look like my 4 year old daughter did it, I have decided against it

    Carbon fibre? Looks so much better than the silver!

    Not bad going for 35 quid mate!

    Yeah went for a really fine carbon fibre.

    Sprayed it dark metallic grey and then dipped it.

    Not bad for a DIY job
