greenmac80 Posted November 8, 2008 Author Report Posted November 8, 2008 Tidy :y: thanks mate! Painted me centre dash today! smoothed over all the lines so its flat! Quote
Taz_Rx Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 Nice work. :D I should send mine over for you to re-paint! :D So are you going to put a tacho in the right hand side hole like mine? As I noticed you've got both a fuel level and water temp guage in the console. Tip if so - If you also want to retain an oil pressure and charge light just use some short self tappers and drill then through the circuit board sheet thingy, through the appropriate circuits. Put some ring terminals under the self tappers and run some wire to a new light somewhere in the dash. :y: Quote
Calam05 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 wow that looks nice. what does it look like fitted?? Quote

JiP Posted November 15, 2008 Report Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) hope ya'll like! Well thats a silly question. You already know we already like. I like how you've shaved the lock on the boot. I have wanted to do mine on my car too. The last thing I'd want is someone stuffing up my boot to get in. The plastics came out great too. Overall I rate you :lolcry: :hmm: :D ;) :S (We don't have any stars) :D Edited November 15, 2008 by JiP_01 Quote

PMP020 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 progress is flying along, nice work. will you be test fittin the carpet anytime soon? i am lookin into purshasing some carpet for my wagon from ebay (knox auto) but they list it for ke20 and ke30 as the same mould, concidering the width of of both cars is differnent i just wana know how well its gona fit. if you do fit up soon, let me know. cheers, scott Quote
JiP Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 Just send them off a question. I'd assume that the prices are the same and they have them listed as Corollas. Before they make anything anyway you need to tell them colours too as well as model. Quote

Before they make anything anyway you need to tell them colours too as well as model. Just ordered mine. They ask for Model, year, body type, auto or manual, floor or column & colour before they can organize your carpet. I should know by Monday how good a fit they are. Quote
Taz_Rx Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 I've got a knox super plush in my RX4, nice carpets. Moulding is good, but they don't come with any holes in them so take you're time and do a nice job. :) Quote
