My car is perfect. Cupholders incapable of holding anything but a bottle of water. Or an energy drink can. Oh, and they close up and nobody can figure out how to open them again, which I also like.
One shut, plus a bottle of water for size comparison.
I also did some rubber and vinyl restoration stuff on the faded grill. Works really good.
That's the right side before treatment.
That's the left side after treatment. Little bit streaky, but I sorted that out after.
The leather also got a little treatment, shampoo'd the carpet too.
It's slowly coming together. Everything is getting nicer, and cleaner for sure. After everything is cleaned up, the mods begin.
Also. What should I name her? I'm thinking Michele after Michele Mouton, the rally driver.

Me too. You've got to "Know" the car to operate them. You don't just push on the indent. You have to push there, and then push the other end and then pull up. They don't hold much, but water is about all I ever drink in my car anyways.

Yes. Water should be the only thing that's drank in cars. In our cars we don't really let anything but water and coffee if we so happen to be travelling during coffee time.

As much as I love iced coffee. My car shall never be exposed to that level of torture.
Also, I can't stand the smell of coffee in a car interior. Euch, It smelled Coffee-Like when I bought the car on Sat. First thing I put in it was an air freshener.

Ouch. I didn't like that at all.
If I wasn't satisfied with them. I wouldn't have owned three VAG products.

Nice, nice. Where crazedclay is I believe it's still snowing. I wouldn't want to be there, Haha.
It's in the 60s and 70s all week here in Northern Virginia. Pollen is really biting us in the ass though.
