Just been finishing off my grill and when placed by the front of the car its still a bit light.

I wandered without a Halfords that mixes paint near me,if anyone knew off and/or had tried some paint supplied by any online paint firms that might be a good match

What're you doing with your carpet Al?

I can't find any decent dye's that will work on artificial fibres so was actually thinking of re-carpeting it myself.

I just have another better one for mine as its quite badly torn and held together with glue in 3 places at the moment plus its shrunk away from the front passenger footwell because of a constant leak

Aah, I see.

did try dying it at one stage didnt work,just used that stuff you stick in the washing machine to dye clothes hard to find a solution to the carpets as they all seem to fade badly in places

Yeah, I've been doing a bit of digging and the carpets are artificial fibres, so to get a hand-applied dye to work is almost impossible. Apparently there are some products in America, but I don't fancy paying the shipping costs, etc.

you need a good amount that means you can split costs with others that want to do the same thing and then shippings not so bad
