It's vinyl. Door panels will be 2-toned (above and below the chrome strip) to split the grey up a bit.

Inside the cabin area isjust normal padded under-felt foam stuff.
The engine bay will get insulated with thermal insulation as well.

There was an article in a recent VW TRends mag concerning the insulation of a bug. They used stuff called "DYNAMAX" (something like that anyways). I
showed the article to my trimmer and he said he can get stuff that does the same thing - a heat shield, foil-backed insulation for the engine bay.
Doing yours youself Barls?

Is there an advantage to having your solernoid/module in next to battery, as opposed to onto of generator or on fan shroud where they are usually
found?
The intereor looks very nice too. The 2 tone looks great especially with the chrome moulding.

I don't know why the auto electrician put the voltage regulator there. I read an article in VW Trends on converting a generator to an alternator and
I thought that was the spot for the regulator.
