was still a little damp at this point and definitely needs one last going over 2moz to sharpen the shade and fill few light spots but not bad for £4.08 wilkinson fabric dye in a every day spray bottle .... yes im a messy worker lol =) might have dyed the garden floor though :P

[Prickle]

You used proper stuff!

Looks good.

How does it feel? hur hur.

[Damo420]

in all honesty it felt really sore after the misses knocked me one dyeing the whole of the concrete under the sheet black lol =) to be honest thought that dylon dye is spot on pal i still got enough left to finish mine and do maybe another 2-3 peoples

[DanTvts]

Looks good that!
Better than spray paint lol.

nooooo our daughter is due any time now n one thing i learned from it so far is pregnant women got some weight n swing on them left hooks lol :O i aint saying jack to her lmao

[DavidKent]

Haha brilliant...

I want to do this but my only concerns are:

Will it feel as normal, or does it start to feel rough etc? Like when you spray paint one it feels crusty lol

And ill do away with my grab handles at the same time, and replace with black blanks, but what about the handle on the sunroof flap bit and the sunroof handle etc, they'll still be beige?

Otherwise looks good tbh

[Nick_Bush]

Looks really good that.

Can you get Black parts from a 106 or is it only the A, B and C pillars?

[MangoGirl21]

Looks good I wouldnt of even thought about doing this! Hope it look as good when you put all the grey handles ect back on!! Im thinking of doing my floor carpet black ive always hated it being grey! Nice job!!!

[DavidKent]

Didn't think the 106 had black bits either on the roof, just the pillars and so on - may get on this pretty soon then throw the grab handles away and worry about the plastic bits last lol

[saxoboi85]

Look for a 106 xsi sunroof model there roof lining grab handles and sunroof winder handle surround and sun visors are black there rare as hens teeth but when they come up for sale they make big money I just paid £85 for my kit and it looks good now

[DavidKent]

*removes parts and takes to local powder coating friend with a £10 note...*

[iFurio]

David, I'm want to do mine to. Been told that the "Autoglym Black Dye" Works well too?

[DavidKent]

Didn't know it existed, ill get hold of some when the speaker pods sell or if you have them, as I've got your shocks nd spring compressors here too, and ill do mine then we can do yours too

My concern is just the white bits as I've mentioned before ie visors etc

Yeah, can only get it from there website direct :/ Halfords don't do it :( Oh ah! I need them ;) yeah that's my concern too, the plastics i'll spray matt/satin balck, but the visors? :/

[DavidKent]

Might get my mate to retrim my visors and I'm throwing grab handles in the bin anyway haha

Let me know, I need any amount of cash from anywhere, just booked a holiday, owe £200 on the car and need spending money by end of march haha

[DavidKent]

Still open to a deal on that fake dimma grille though ;)

[shannon-ob]

Howwww? I'd be interested in the retrim! Throw me an offer mate ;)

[DavidKent]

You wanted a tenner and I wanted 25 so a tenner and the grille?
Maybe some faux leather only downfall is the mirrors will be Beige still but prob just take them off all together, ill ask him the weekend :)

[shannon-ob]

Yeah deal. Do us a favour and ask if he could do mine to? :)

[DavidKent]

Yeah I will do. Asked him about fabric dye first as he works in that kinda place anyway :)

That's the stuff in question pal. And looking at end results from someone else on here using it, it looks all good :)

[Nick_Bush]

Just checked on AutoGlym website and Halfords sell it.

Apparantly the staff are trained in using it, yeah right! Lol

Plastics are easy enough, what about the sun visors?

[Nates-VTR]

Looks great mate! It's so much cleaner looking inside without that horrible beige! I retrimmed mine red and done the pillars in carbon wrap :)

[billy-m]

Was it hard to get the roof lining out?

[DavidKent]

They're easy enough bud just the plastic Along the boot at the back can often be brittle and break!
