Not another Cab overhaul....

[JamieCkombiT6]

So I read through others ideas and work to do the front Cab, trolled youtube and here's what I've done to mine.... Over the last few years, Its not prefect finishing but done it myself learning as I go....will add some pics and can answer any questions
pics below and won't put the costs incase the wife sees it

• Sound deadening on roof, floor, a A and B pillars door skins, inner door skin, inner door cards are lined with sound proof liner
• Blue LED door ambient light kit on door cards from vwtechlite
• Ambient floor LEDs blue added
• Black interior light unit- from Skoda
• Re upholstered the Roof, B pillars with 4way stretch anthracite,
• door cards with black Caraville cards from t6cotswoldpart on eBay
• Painted interior plastics using plasti-koat primer and matt black paint, a pillar covers, seat belt holder plastics and roof pocket
• Sunvisors trimmed in Dynamic with 3d printed parts from Stephen at edge automotive
• Alpinespeakers, Sony XAV-AX8150 and all wiring adaptors, reverse camera all from dynamic sounds
• Glove box..from travelinlite
• Also relined the rear cab roof in Anthracites as it was done in a light grey colour and replaced broken spot lights with black surrounded LEDs and added a shelve

The quality of work on the sunvisors by edge automotive is amazing and well worth it
Painting plastics was done by cleaning them and the a light rub with wet 800 gritpaper, 2 layers of primer and 2 of matt black topcoat

I am sound deadening and considering the rear lining next, but will be looking to do some of the cab too at some point. Great post this, which has my brain in overdrive!

This looks great @ChestnutBrown I've started doing something similar. Did you remove the factory fit covering off the headliner first? If so, how hard was it to remove?

That’s not my van, I am just looking at doing similar. I haven’t done anything but the inner door sound deadening yet, which I did when I swapped the speakers out.

I've recently removed factory cover from headlining to re cover, it will come of with a bit of pulling, headliner is like fiber glass so can be a bit fragile in some place so take your time or it will fold and crack on you.

Thank you, that's really good to know. I'm going to attempt it next week
