My former 2005 Cooper interior modifications (+)

I had a 1,5 year interior improvement experience - and that's the result

what do you think about that?..

I also have many pictures of the process of noise insulation - don't know if it is interesting

Does the suede on the A pillars prevent the airbags from deploying?

That is one awesome amount of work put into that interior. Did you do all that work yourself?

Looks great... I gotta try something like that with my seats... the red goes with my interior theme.

Yes. It happened so that 2 months ago I found my current car and couldn't resist buying it

But before selling me Cooper I made some photos.

Thanks. It really was a lot of work. And it isn't finished yet - i thought about down tubes in carbon fibre and other grey coloured plastic too. But from the beginning (i bought this Cooper in early 2008) it was lack of power (only 115 hp - U know ) - that's why I decided to change a car.

No curtain airbags on that Cooper. When the airbag deploys the A-pillar (plastic) fall down without breaking - that's why i think that suede or leather on these surfaces is indangerous.
