Ben, does the armrest obstruct your handbrake at all? And do you use it all the time?
I like the look of them, but i do alot of town driving, are they more for big cruises?

It makes getting to the handbrake a little awkward. But went in a 60 plate focus the other day and it is exactly the same situation in that. And the focus armrest was standard. So I wouldn't let that worry you because you get used to it.

I use it all the time subconsciously, it is by far the most beneficial mod I've done.

Right so originally i covered all my pillars in black faux leather and i covered my roof lining and sun visors in black nu-suede.
Unfortunately the spray glue I used didnt stand up to hot weather at the start of April too well.

So I had a change of plan and decided to get it all flocked, had never flocking in real life so was a bit of a risk.

All flocked parts have been installed now.

Looks even better than I thought.

Many thanks to Ron @ www.TheFlockShop.co.uk
