All I did was clay bar then used some panel wipe to degrease it and applied the plasti dip. I masked about 2 inch outside of the area so i had something to peal away. I used about four coats so it was thick and then pealed away what I didnt want. Its been on for ages now and hasnt come away. If I ever want to remove it I can just peal it off and the paint underneath is untouched. It dries with a slight texture so not absolulty smooth but where iv used it it looks right. Dipmycar on youtube has loads of tutorials and fonzy does some interesting projects :happy2:

That pic of the Recaro seat back looks great - glad to see they're coming along well, & the trimmer looks to have done a great job. Will be an awesome mod once done.
Nice work on the dials, and on the vid - the dials are fiddly, and I found the same issue on the needles - felt like you'd break something until you find the way is to twist them off the spindle. On my old mkiv I did a similar dial face swap on a set of standard mkiv full FIS dials using a 25th Anni / Bora Sport cluster to make a full FIS set with the Anni / Bora Sport trims & needles - they were pretty rare from factory.
The cluster should bring the mk5 bang up to date once fitted :happy2: Can't be anything left to do to the interior after these?!

........I may have a few more small mods up my sleeve for the interior :wink:
Iv basically got all the parts now for AWD but I keep getting side tracked with what I think is cool stuff for it :signLOL:
