As I have started already to remove carpet and paint the sheet metal instead (most in the rear is gone), I am thinking about to continue with this moving forward in the car.

Anybody has a good idea what to do with the cover panels for the footwell blowers. I will keep the blowers as I need the heat. The panels itself are made from (flexible) plastic, covered with carpet on the outside and have some insulation on the inside. I am not sure what is the best prep for painting these covers or if somebody came up with a total different good looking idea? As the blowers are not really pretty, leaving the panels off entirely does not look too attractive to me.

 

Unless you have stripped the rest of the interior, why remove the carpet and paint the covers. If they need to be re-covered, it is simple to do.

 

as said, most of it is stripped already and I want to continue that path

I looked into that idea a little bit, thanks. Getting the right color (indisch-rot, guards-red) is the first problem, second I don't think it will last in that specific area.

 

I used spray in bed liner in a couple places on my interior as color and sound deadening.

 

I was looking at the car today thinking what to do while the engine cooled down from a nice and quite motivated Sunday morning back roads drive. It would be perfect to have it as a carbon fiber part. The lid for the shifter coupler housing is available as a CF part, but I have not seen these covers yet. I have no idea how complex making a carbon fiber part is, but this would be a good example in my opinion.
