Ok I have a platinum grey interior ..

I have been offered a very very good deal on a full black leather change .. this includes the following

All seats
Dashboard
Steering wheel
centre console
Carpet
Door cards ect ..

Is it a mamoth task changing a full interior over ?
And if any one has done it before can they advise me where to start ?

Only interior I have changed out was in a MK1 fiesta.

If it was me I would start stripping seats out from rear then front.

Centre console then dash finishing off with carpets.

Then assemble in reverse order.

Only after I had sorted the main interior would I bother working on the doors unless you were doing anything extra in the doors like running new wires.

Its a huge undertaking but by no means undoable.

If you need pdf's of certain interior removal then just shout.

Thanks .. The main things i will need is how to remove the main dashboard.
I know how to take the seats out. and i know how to do all the door cards i have done this a few times when Tinting the windows ect ..

I would also like to add extra sound deadning to really Quieten it down while its all stripped out. the facelift 2007 onwards had double the normal sound insulation. and although i have never been in a 2007 onwards other than D4 i can imagine that it would be fairly Quiet.

Any PDF's You have for me would be great especially Center console removal and dash board and steering wheel ect

I stripped the dash down on my A4 several times and its a bit of mission but when you done it once you'll know all the locations of the odd screw, clip, plug and cable routing.

I'd remove all seats, steering wheel, centre console and then start on the main dash and last the carpets.
The carpets seem to go under the dash and its a choice of cutting the carpet in the middle or removing the dash.

Don't forget pictures and good luck.
