Relitivly easy, but then i have re upholstered the entire interior, seats headling etc so compared it was pretty straight forward!

will get some better pics up once there in the car tomorrow

Nope. real leather, just very thick (nearly 2mm) polished, slightly harder wearing than the stuff i used on the chairs!! seeing as its gonna get kicked and beaten every time someone gets in and out of the car!!

Right well all but the drivers door in and fitted, car needs a good clean but still look 1000x better than before!

drivers original door in background and new passenger door, know which i prefer!!

once the cars cleaned and finished i'll get a full range of better pics up!

Not yet but i will be!

looks flucking great!

U'd think they'd come from the factory like that!

I think the more standard it looks in the car the nicer it is, doesnt look modded at all, nice and subtle

Cheers

i like it!!

i made a decision that as quick as the gsi is its not a turbo and i'd rather by a proper turbo than spend loads on turbo'ing or going the TB route with this gsi.

so i decided to invest my time and money in the interior and ice etc but keep it classy and do all the work myself.

this is my car to cruise in and enjoy the experience of driving rather than ragging the nuts off it, still a quick car though none the less!!
