ibzzzzz 0 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 UPDATES!!!seeing as its winter i been busy with interior.....(Letting it run and having the heating on blast as I work)so ive been a busy boy....Always wanted the raised highline console but with my interior being grey/beige its not possible...so i trawled US Ebay.com and found this crazyness.Library pics.the actual itemI then realised that the original handbrake gaiter will be invalid as it only looks right with the lowline flat/boring console. Knowing that a highline leather gaiter is a straight fit I went to my friends highline that he wrote off a few years ago and got busy with the craft knife... leaving me with this...Then I stripped original one my car...detached the rubber crap...I then laid out my original and the highline gaiter to show where they need to meet and be extended...Then let b-trim in enfield work the magic on the items...a day later i got a phonecall saying its ready....very happy with the quality and match to my original interior...Comparisons enjoy...

ibzzzzz 0 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Oh and also bought thisA US spec door lock switch...It's from America so with shipping and import and all that crap it cost about 30, but baasically because for some strange reason you can't send a signal to the central locking pump when the car is running meant it was pretty useless unless the car is off. I then noticed that when you manually push the pin down it's works and locks the doors. By adding a two wire door solenoid I can replicate this and have it wired to the buttonI then activated the door unlock function when you switch the car off via the autowatch alarm....And it all works a treat!!!
