I'm not planning on using it as a toolbox for tools, so missing tools won't be a problem.

Awesome result! Was thinking about covering mine with some fabric to match my door cards but the paint idea seems much more durable. For my toolbox, I lined it with some of this from my local Hobby craft. http://www.hobbycraf...-cm/565432-1000 , bought a few sheets and cut them to size. Sprayed some adhesive on them and stuck them down. Isn't the best of jobs but keeps the box clean and scratch free :)

Oh feck, it looks like I'm not having a very good day, as I've just noticed all 3 of the mini25 stickers are missing a red square. How on earth did I miss that before fitting them I don't know.

These arrived this morning, ignore the one I'd already started.

What I didn't want to do though is peel of the whole of the old stickers, re-measure and line up and risk peeling the paint off. So instead I carefully masked up and trimmed the new ones to suit.

Just on the off chance I popped into the local pound shop in town, even if you'd have to be very lucky to find anything that's is actually just a pound though. And picked up a pack of these for £1.50, a whole 51p than I would have liked lol.

So far I've used 2 to line the inside, tray and the bottom of the main box.

Plus the fact the carpet matches that of the dash and door cards is purely coincidental...
