Painted Yellow Stripe on Dashboard Trim

I decided to paint the lower section of the RenaultSport dashboard trim in gloss yellow. Below are some pics of the finished dashboard trim painted with a gloss yellow stripe to replace the OEM silver.

Painted Interior Plastic Trims

Previously, I had wrapped my center air-vent in brushed aluminium 3M Di-Noc to match my silver side air-vents (details about this can be found here). However, I now like the gloss black versions that come on the new megane 265, I think it looks much better so decided to gloss black some interior trims myself. I decided to paint the following parts in gloss black:

• Center and Side dashboard air-vent trims
• Interior Door Handles (possibly exterior handles too)
• Centre Console

I had some time last week and weather was good so managed to complete the air-vent trims. The interior door handles and centre console is to follow maybe sometime next week.

I'm also thinking to paint the lower-section of the carbon-style dashboard trim. The lower-section is factory painted in silver. I'm thinking to paint this in yellow and planning to do this end of the month. (***UPDATE*** This has now been painted, pics can be found here)

Below are pics of my DIY painting of the air-vent trims. I was after a deep-gloss finish, which comes from several layers of wet sanded clear-coat.

First Installation of RS250 DRL Override Kit - User Submitted.

Following up from my post dated 21st April 2012 regarding my RS250 DRL Override Kit, here are some photos and install details submitted by MeganeSport.net user "250RS". The DRL on his Megane RS250 now stay on with his sidelights and headlights. The DRL's go into dim mode which is approximately 55% dimmer than in DRL mode. The kit is also compatible with auto headlight mode. When its dark the headlight comes on and the LEDs go into dim mode.

As mentioned in my previous post, this override kit is plug & play and does not require cutting or tampering with wires. Only exception to this is the need to connect to the sidelight circuit. This is done using 2 simple ScotchLok connectors. If you ever need to disable the system, you can simply remove the inline blade fuse and this will disable the override functionality. If you are worried about effecting your warranty, you could remove the entire system very easily. The system is completely reversible. Only thing you would need to do is cover the 2 small areas of the wire that the ScotchLock connector is connected to using an insulating sleeve or even a small amount of pvc insulation tape.

I am offering to sell these kits on a made-to-order basis for an introductory price of £100 + P&P. If you're interested, feel free to contact me via the contact form.
