Well done bboyskidz! I'll definitely be doing mine myself now that I know it's not a hard job. Let us know how it is in a few months time!

Looks great, as far as the vinyl spray goes, did u have problems with the light console area? I reckon it looks a little tricky. Great idea to take all those pics too..thanks!

Looks like a real profesional job! Well done. Now you just need to get the rest of the interior colour coded.

Thanks for the great write up!

i'm really not exxagerating when i say it was easy!!! i'd recommend it to anyone!

next time i'm going to get Mum to sew a red stripe down the middle to make it even more awesome (coz red goes faster

)

yes i did. not in terms of painting, i just took the piece out and covered the clear parts up with tape. i'll take closer pics but the part where it went wrong was that I didn't clean the plastic before spraying it and the paint cracked when it dried. annoying - i might consider sanding it and redoing it.
