Trim tweeks

Yesterday the sunroof opening trim turned up. Having checked quite a lot of sites and trawled through so many profiles, Phoenix trim came up trumps.
At first I thought it was a bit small, but at the first chance I git I was down the garage and fitting the trim. Oh yes, it was spot on and got the trim to length just right. Overly excited when I stood back. But that is almost the sunroof saga over, lost a lot of sleep over that so its really nice to be getting there.


In the latest bundle buy was a switch panel. It's solid and straight, but scratched, tarnished and slightly rusting. Nothing new there, getting used to it. With the ally thin frame really not looking all that good, it forced a little think about how to improve it.


Having re found the silver and Kevlar  handbrake lever cover and fitted it. I was leaning towards Kevlar on the flat switch panel and filling then colour coding the frame. A lot of sanding, priming, sanding and finishing in the car colour. We are getting there and should be finished tomorrow.
I forgot about the gear selector unit. I checked the mountings for it and finally double checked the odd opening for.it. yep its wrong, not by much but enough not to seal to the standard gear stick gaiter. Being such a small but I used a sheet or 1mm ally and cut a panel.
