    Lachlan, I sanded the ENTIRE surface of the pieces and used the headliner adhesive to keep the fabric in place. I then cut little pieces (tabs) of fabric and used hot glue to stick it onto the backside. The curled sections of the edge that goes over the seals I had just cut the fabric so it still sits fine, with more hot glue on the edges. Fingers crossed that the fabric won't lose adhesion to the trim...
    I might have to give the sanding thing a go. I've got a hot glue gun. how strong are they really? I'll update my thread this weekend...

    Strong enough! They definitely hold and the good thing is, they bond in less than a minute. Only downside is that the hot glue dries bulky if not spread properly and so causes a few bumps here and there. Hopefully it won't make fitment too hard.

    Another possible downside is it might not hold as well during warmer/hot conditions? They don't have a temperature limit written anywhere so I'll have to wait til Summer to see if they'll hold up...

    Could you give me a pointer and tell me what suspension + wheel combo (size offsets etc) you are using in these two pics please?

    I think its the same suspension in both pics but the top one is raised a bit. Its koni yellows with the ground control coilover sleeves making them height adjustable. Very comfortable ride and definately not harsh at all!

    Fried, in the first pic I used Koni Special shocks + lowering springs (-40mm). Wheels were Enkei stockies - 14x6 ET38 on 185/60R14.

    Second pic, was also with Koni Specials but I used coilover sleeves and had them as low as I can. I don't know how much from stock the lowering was, but it's definitely a lot more than 40mm. Wheels were widened Mk4 steelies - 15x8 ET25 front, ET15 rear, both on 195/50R15.

    Edit:

    They were Reds man! But yeah, I'd rate them to be more comfortable and less harsh than your typical coilover setup, but the Koni shocks + standard lowering springs were A LOT more comfortable.

    Love those tartan interior bits. I like the car, nice subtle mods! No need for expensive parts either. I wouldn't do a lot of that to my car, but doesnt change the fact I think it looks great.
