Small shopping list of bits I want...
« on: 13 April 2025, 15:39:56 »

I'm after the following, preferably in plod black but I'd also consider the real and authentic wood effect.

All to suit a facelift manual saloon.

Centre console/ radio surround
Ashtray cover
Gearstick surround
The little black frame the gear gaiter attaches to

Set of front window switches, if anyone has the driver's switch panel for a GLS/Special that has only the two fronts? I'm after a front passenger side switch in any case.

Probably a few more bits as well.

Let us ignore the fact that one of the cars currently has no engine, transmission, or suspension, I'm prioritising here!

TIA :y

Start with the hard to find bits ;)

If it helps, the passenger front switch is the same across the range and '99-'02 GLS only had front electric windows. They also had the black/charcoal trim and also more likely to be manual although the centre console panel is the same across the board.

Have used this to good effect...

Just prep the surface properly and it coats well and is reasonably scratchy resistant... I used it on my door cards after removing the soft coat, so can vouch for it :y

Good shout on the GLS trim also being dark.

I have a full set of silver MV6 trim but in my stupid brain that's too rare to sand and paint, so it will just sit in a box in the spare room...!

Never thought of using Tamiya paint, I might give that a go! Cheers :)

Arguably plod trim is rarer. ;)
