We give personality to the car VAZ-2108. Salon: tuning by one's own hands

In the mid-eighties at the Volga Automobile Plant began the production of the "eight". At that time the car VAZ-2108 salon, tuning which is practiced so far, had an improved layout and practicality. Its serial production was completed in 2005, and more modernized modifications came to replace it. Nevertheless, the owners of the "classics" refine the car, making it unique and unique in its kind.

Domestic cars are good with their affordability and wide possibilities for their modernization. And the development of industry has given many adaptations aimed at aesthetic and practical improvement of transport.

Let's consider how you can update the model VAZ-2108 salon. Tuning experts recommend starting with a torpedo. Owners who try to simply replace the boring parts with new elements may not adapt to the car's settings. A similar error leads to a malfunction in the readings of the instruments and their inaccuracy. The best option is to install a halogen tape around the perimeter of the panel.

This will transform the internal equipment of the car and will not dazzle the eyes at night. As an alternative, neon or xenon clearance is suitable. It is brighter, but somewhat more difficult to install.

Cargo area

The tuning of the VAZ-2108 is not the only way to improve the car. Despite the fact that it is not so simple to create something unique from the trunk, many specialists and folk craftsmen have their own experience in this direction.

The luggage compartment is used for things, but you can make a place for it to install modern audio equipment. There are several variations of the modernization of the trunk. It is quite normal that drivers store in it a "spare", a jack and some other tools. And in order to make this look aesthetically pleasing, it is enough to simply install a plywood sheet slightly above the boot floor. It turns out a kind of horizontal cabinet, which for convenience can be divided into two halves and equipped with loops.

Transform the internal equipment of the "eight" can be necked by a carpet. This material is quite popular in the modern car market. On sale there are many of its shades, which allows you to choose the color range of the salon to your taste. The carpet stretches well, has a high resistance to wear, suitable for the decoration of the ceiling, doors, panels and other parts. To fix the material it is desirable to use a special adhesive, following the instructions for its use.

In addition, the car VAZ-2108 salon (tuning it, we consider in our article) can be equipped with carbon inserts or a special film for hanging. Working with carbon requires a vacuum installation, and the film can be installed in a simpler way. The materials in question are suitable for the arrangement of the following parts:

• Door handles;
• The instrument panel;
• Shift knobs;
• Decorative elements.

Carbon inserts are used only as decoration elements. For the basis of the design of the cabin to take them is not recommended, because the interior will not have a very presentable look.

Other internal improvements

The modernization of the interior is influenced not only by visual alterations, but also by improvement in terms of comfort. Often for this, the owners use noise insulation materials. As a rule, such a product consists of a plastic film of a viscous agent that melts and fills with crevices and gaps when heated, contributing to additional sound insulation of the car. After installing such materials, the cover of the interior must be completely replaced.

Another way to do the tuning of the VAZ-2108 interior is to use a low panel and replace the seats. If you make budgetary improvements yourself by changing the shell and the springs of the seats, you need to perform certain manipulations:

1. Dismount old equipment.
2. Remove worn springs and install new parts.
3. To build an updated seat frame.
4. To give them a marketable appearance with the help of new upholstery and various inserts.

If you do not want to bother with this repair yourself, you can just buy new sports seats that are easy to find at retail outlets or online stores. Naturally, such a transformation of the car's interior will result in a more round sum.

The VAZ-2108 walker is improved by replacing the drive. Not all owners agree to such a modification, as this is a laborious and complicated process. Replacement is often due to the breakage of the standard ring and deterioration of control. In principle, the element can break even inside, but not all specialists can dismantle the grenade to replace the part. Ownly, with certain skills, the part is disassembled and changed to a new model.

It is quite possible to update the interior of the car in cheaper and simpler ways. For example, update the seat covers. The range of these products is unlimited, for cars you can choose the optimal variation in design and style.

The most common commodity in this segment are universal cases. Their advantage lies in the possibility of selection for almost any model of the car. They are made of elastic raw materials, easy to install and resistant to wear.

The only drawback experts call the mismatch of covers and the seats themselves in size (if the difference in dimensions is too large). In this case, the products are either excessively stretched or folded, which reduces the aesthetics of the design and the service life of the covers.

Conclusion

In the car VAZ-2108 salon (tuning which can be carried out in different ways) is very convenient and allows you to implement various design solutions. A good option for interior finishing will be ecologically clean leather covers, which are manufactured in the factory without the addition of chemicals. Such material is wear-resistant, has good seating, has an affordable price, is harmless for adults and children. The main problem is that covers made of environmentally friendly leather are problematic to be found in free access.
