New plates have arrived

I have some comments on Facebook about the weight aspect of the interior install.

Another thread for RS carpet install weighed the original soundproofing at 16.7kg

So far I have added 3.1kg in Dynaliner and 13kg in Dynamat. Add in the rubber sheets I added and this is a net PUSH on OE weight I.e. This car is no heavier than the day it was built.

More progress. Considering this is the first car interior I have ever done I'm very happy

Pel

Very nice John, came up a treat

John McM

Thanks Pel, it's a visible transformation every day so easy to keep motivated.

The plates are stunning too.

John McM

Thanks Pete, they finish off the car nicely. Not that 99% of the population would know what a 964 is.

Carpet is in. It took one week after work and both weekend days to complete. 3 litres of contact adhesive has been partially inhaled but the end job is outstanding even if I do say so myself. A few small items to secure and I'll take some pics.

I have replaced both sets of front pads, and put in anti squeal mushrooms and sensors. I've gone with Textar as it is oe and should be a good balance between road driving needs and noise etc. By the way the old pads had lots of life in them. I'm just re baselining maintenance.

John McM

Still a few items to fit. The suspension should transform the ride. The rest is basic and/or cosmetic

John McM

Carpet is finished!

John,
The carpet looks great! How does the texture and fit of the Lakewell Sliverknit compare to OE? I'm sort of considering doing this as well, but may end up going with the used route for the few pieces that I need to repair mine. Also, the shift **** looks fantastic.

John McM

I have the other C4 with an original interior carpet to compare to and it's no different. This looks like it came out of the Porsche factory. Lakewell do a very good kit. The driver side foot pad and pedal cover are very good with jute backing.

Looks like factory work, excellent... Sense you mentioned Pads and Mushrooms, do your pads come with a steel liner epoxied to the back of pad? If so, do you remove and then use mushrooms?

John McM

Yes, the new and old ones have the steel pad. However, as it didn't work in the old ones I figure it needs some help with the mushrooms. No, I didn't remove the steel liner as it still all fits in there.
