Audi TT shifter ring in to my VW R32

I decided to do something a little different with center console by adding an Audi TT shifter ring.



First I made a duplicate ring out of 1/4"MDF



Then added 8-32 T-nuts. For extra holding power I added Marglass.

I used SEM Bumper Stripper to remove the "soft touch"

Then used Zap a Gap and Kicker to mock the mdf ring into place.

Here I made a template, copied it to 1/8" ABS and zap a gapped it into place to use as a filler.







Applied Marglass, sanded with 80g, test fit







Rage Gold body filler, Metal Glaze spot putty, sanded to 220g





Plastic/Leather prep



Polyester Poly Primer
