I've finally got rid of the truly awful walnut trim to the only place it belongs - The Rover 400 retirement village!.... []

Splashed the cash on some anniversary ali trim, r-line gearknob, and IMO, what is probably my favourite mod to date, my R32 steering wheel! [] pricey at ?190, but IMO well worth it!

Let me know what you think peeps

 

[Paul C]

Nice [^]

 

[GaryM]

I like it very much Steve, in fact that much that Im going to nab your steering wheel on Sunday and replace it with mine!![]

 

[Beddie]

Cheers mate [^], it's not a retrim though, it's the OEM factory Leather/Alcantara option which IMO is a bit of a bargain at ?800 as it's quite rare and makes a change from all leather (Wouldnt mind a swap for some leather Recaro's though!), think it was only available on the Bora IIRC

 

[smithjoe]

Looks good beddie, youve wanted it for a while now just gotta get your BBS wheels.

 

[Cluke]

I know what I'm changing next, walnut trim RIP. But why did VW fit it in the first place cos IMO it's poo.

 

[stev]

nice mate, great transformation.whoever decided to put that plastic walnut crap in a vw wants shoeing !!!!(shoeing means sorting out with whatever footwear you wear.i.e shoe)

 

[LIAMH]

Very Smart

Yeh the R32 Wheel is a great mod

I'm getting mine retrimmed with the Black Leather and Blue alcantara as well but i can't decide wether to get the door cards done in Blue alcantara to match the seat middles of go for the leather...

 

[Benn130TDI]

Looks very nice!

But - like me for the last week - you need to fill your screen wash up []

 

[02 Bora]

looks so much better. Finishes off the interior nicely.

Why VW decided to put wood decals on the Sport spec Bora, who knows. It was what originally persuaded me to get an SE model in the first place, especially coming from a rover 214 with similar wood inserts [!].

 

[Baker21]

Looks great mate!!! What more can be said!!

I had the wood (sport model) and I had to get rid of it, I just painted mine but I am still tempted to do what you've done but it is big bucks!!

Worth every penny though!!

 

[scarum]

Very nice indeed... how about an silver CD player to finish it off?

 

[g-master]

Looking good, just how i'd like mine to look like! a big improvement nice one. Where did you get your r32 wheel from was it the stealers??

 

[Beddie]

Cheers for all the comments guys.. [^]

Benn130TDI: being publicly shamed has worked, screenwashed topped up this afternoon lol! []

scarum: never really thought about a silver stereo etc.. to match the trim, could work out very nice, but TBH the gamma does me okay especially with the D.S.P and uprated speakers, the wife would only play some crappy westlife/girly compilations etc.. on it anyway!

02Bora: rover 214 ownership...? hehe, are you sure you wanted to admit to that! []

g-master: The R32 wheel was bought from oemparts for ?190 all-in including vat and 24hr postage, still expensive for a steering wheel, but IMO well worth it and a big saving over the dealer price of ?270, he sold one on ebay a while back which went for ?165 posted!! so keep your eyes peeled!

Baker21: I agree, the ali trim is quite pricey, but as you say is worth it, it makes me smile every time i sit in the car now!! just ssoooo much better than fake plastic walnut!

Looks real nice mate, oh no not another thing to tempt me....

Gary, I think we might have to pay a group of ten year olds to jump Steve on Sunday...

You grab the wheel and I'll grab the trim.
