iv only just bought my saxo a few months ago and decided to start styling it upto now im concentrating on the inside as thats were i spend most my time haha so i have flocked parts of the dash as i think to many modders have sprayed and i was looking for sumfink a bit different fitted metal peddles gearnob and tax disc holder they was just a pack that i bought from halfords but look good lookin for a gaitor that will look good with them (leather obv) i got a leak on my arial so decided to mod that using the mount from a corsa and a beesting ill do a guide if anybody wants a go themselves as its a bit tricky i put in a blaupunkt head uint in clarion speekers in the front doors and in the back pasenger part and some 6x9 JBLs on the parcel shelf i know they dnt match but they actulay sound realy good giving nice base instead of a subwoofer because i didnt realy wanna pay for a decent 1 dont fink they sound good unless there the dogs bollox

he said its been flocked^^^^^^^^^

11th February 2009, 19:10

What is that??

11th February 2009, 19:12

i flocked it like what rally cars have on the top of there dash to stop sun glare but u can buy the flockking from eveywer i got it off ebay all you do is remove all the pannels you want to flock clean them down i just used a clean rag and some soapy water then when its dry you can use spray on adhesive or as i used a can of metalic spray paint chose ur colour wisly as this will darken or lighten the appearence spray the parts then pour the flocking over the wet paint this has to be done prety quick straight after its sprayed pour alot over and pat it down not too hard and leave a while collect the excess by tapping a unpainted side wen most is off give it a blow then let the paint cure bout 10hours is ok but dnt press to hard or it will smudge and ull had to get it off (dont know how to get it off btw) as you will have half a dash lol an fit it back in looks like sweude but alot easyer and cheapr cost me maybe 10 pound at most to do including spray paint this was a dark blue btw.

try making sentences next time please.

exterior mod: de-wiper your car, it's a 5 minute mod that makes a big difference for the looks of your car.

you could get some neons or interior lights and put them in.
and get the rest of your interior flocked as well, it looks really good

11th February 2009, 19:30

Cool i've never seen that before and it looks pretty good. Something for me to think about

11th February 2009, 19:31

I wouldn't remove the rear wiper. Not till the Late spring at least.

why not?
i've removed mine last month and it's been raining ever since.
aint got a drop of water inside my car.

11th February 2009, 19:44

sorry i know am prety crap at grammer lol! no fink am going to leave the rest of the dash black, thaught of flockking the rest black but think it mite be a too much bover to remove it! as you wouldnt get a good finish trying it still in the car. im going to do the doorcards aswell but waiting till i get a air compressor for that, because its a bigger surface itd be hard to get a even cover with the flock by hand.

11th February 2009, 19:44

whats up with the roof, the paint looks really flat?!?

11th February 2009, 19:46

dont know about de-wipering it but if somebody car put a picture up of a de-wipered rear window it mite sway me what direction with that because i havent seen it done before.

11th February 2009, 19:48

oh the roof has a bit of a dint my friends going to remove that for me. its just the lighting plus its not metalic yet lol another friends gunna do a professional spray job for me wen iv got a kit to put on it.

niether would i, period just dont see the point of it !!!!

the roof looks bleached with the sun ............i had that happen to me on my old pug 205GTi........could be wrong though lol

11th February 2009, 23:02

not 2 keen on the flocking tbh, sprayin it would make it look so much cleaner

12th February 2009, 00:38

roof does look bleached on that picture ill post another tomoro wen its light its because of the flash i think. even if it is bleached i know how to brighten it back up just takes sum elbow grease lol ill make guides of anything i have done to my car if anybody is interested just let me know! i know simply spraying parts of you dash does give a cleaner look. but thats not what i was after to be onist anybody can do it (no offence to thous who have theres sprayed) i just thaught whats prety original that not many people have, each to there own realy i mite decide in the future i want to spray it but am happy with it the way it is now and think customising cars is about adding your own indivuality to the car not following what everybody else is doing, do it for yourself!!!!!

i started spraying my doorcards yesterday so they would match the flocking managed to match the colour perfectly! even thou i wasnt sure what colour the flocking would be in spray paint, used a ford blue to match it. well heres some piks so enjoy i havent matched the speaker cover as im goin to make a carbon fiber custom.

19th February 2009, 01:54

Did you just spray your doorcards?

19th February 2009, 02:45

yeh my door cards are just sprayed at the moment waiting on getting my flocking equipment then am going to go over them.

20th February 2009, 01:06

use the flocking gun i told you about

20th February 2009, 01:40

like it

24th February 2009, 02:38

i read on here sumwer about sum1 putting a pair of tights over there a pillar or somthink, and i thaught it would look prety good over the front speaker grills, so av done that now as well but this is only untill i can afford the set of speakers i want.then ill make a fibre glas surrond to show them off.

24th February 2009, 13:02

Lookin quite smart mate, any chance of you postin a guide of how to do it, also has anyone ever seen a dash re-done in faux leather? think it would look quite smart tbh but could it be done? lol
