Hoping my wife's Audi is ready to collect today. If so, will be getting my steering wheel off to send for its retrim.![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
After that it's off to the rim place to refinish my Wedsports.![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Still, should be a busy 2016 for my F.

Nope, still waiting for the last interior bits to come back from skinning.

Hoping it won't be too much longer though!

The Audi wasn't ready yesterday in the end.
![Crying](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/Peace.gif)
May mean I have to postpone my steering wheel retrim.
![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
May just have enough time to sort it out on Tuesday before I fly to Tampa on business. Just depends how much longer they take with the Audi!

Hey Pete,
Ever had thoughts on blacking out your window trim? Simple & cheap job, less than $20, with Mini cooper black out trim tape! Changes the look of the car a lot.

I was planning on having the chrome on my grill and window trim plastidipped. Would tape work better and is it more durable?

Hey mate. Have thought about it before, but not sure it's as straightforward when you have the window visors like I do? Certainly an option for the future though if I can make it work. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

This is the UK dude, we barely see the sun! Lol.![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
On a more serious note, this only eliminates the middle vents above the screen. Will still have the corner vents and the option to open the windows of course!![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

I'd say tape mate. The plastidip isn't that great if I'm totally honest. ![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I've seen quite a few on here with the tape, and they look spot on.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Hey Guys,
So little update.
Wheels have been successfully refinished in dark anthracite.![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
Here's a couple of sneak peeks. Car is looking filthy at the moment.![Sad](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)
Weather has been ghastly over this side of the pond.![Crying](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/Peace.gif)
I'll get it cleaned up properly this weekend and snap a few better photos for you guys.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

This is still with my carbon guy unfortunately.![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Hoping he gets time to finish the last few bits soon!
My steering wheel is also away for refinishing at the moment. Hoping to have that back soon as well.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
My order has been placed on my new seats.![Woot](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/woot.gif)
They should arrive in a few weeks hopefully. Stitching is being done in light blue to match the F theme. Will be a one-off set Cobra are making for me.![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Should be an awesome year once I get all these bits done.![Cool](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif)
Further updates soon hopefully!
Cheers.
Peter
