Interior mods to the Porsche over the weekend

[R26Andy]

Finally finished three interior mods that I had started over the weekend. So to begin with the centre console looked like this....



Pretty normal. Two hours later most of it was across the kitchen table and me frantically trying to stop the cats getting in amongst it...



Then began the long task of sanding, priming, sanding, painting and laqeuring each piece.



After swapping out the cd holder for a storage compartment and wiring in a spoiler switch onto the dash I finally arrived at the end product.....



I'm really pleased with the results, so what do the you think, worth the effort or should have kept oem?

Looks good.

Only comments:

1) I'd have left the vent black.

2) I'd also be worried about the finish scratching off over time and looking shabby. Have you used a special paint on lacquered finish?

Like it, it looks very professional.

What does the spoiler switch do, is it just an on-dash version of the footwell one.

Thanks, Glad im not the only one who likes it . I'm not normally one for decorative mods but I felt the interior needed a lift.

The enamel paint is very durable, I tried to scratch a test piece with a key and nothing. The lacquer coat should add an extra layer of protection. I hope I never have to redo it! The vents are oem, I'm not a fan either.

The spoiler switch just replicates the one in the footwell, easy to raise a lower whilst on the move.

One blank button left for a PSE

Good call on PSE, worth every penny. I find the button useful, mostly using it on late nights/early mornings to try not to annoy the neighbours!

[R26Andy]

Very tempting! There's a used PSE for sale for £500. Being used, I`m worried that the seam will rust through in a year and it will need replacing again. How is yours holding up?

[OlberJ]

While it's out, get it welded to be on the safe side?

[R26Andy]

Ah, they can be repaired? I thought they were scrap one the seams went.
