Excellent job, looks just as new.
Not sure if you're aware [or interested] but steering wheel badges [with locating pins clipped] will fit over the embossed ovals on the front door cards and epoxied in.
Did this with mine when I had a D3 with this interior and it gives it a nice finishing touch [I have a pic].
But maybe you want to keep this just as it left the factory, which I understand....... always on the road less travelled 🚧
< ‘tis but a mere scratch …….. it’ll polish out.

Holy moly what a nice vehicle
Does the insurance company have an opinion of the vehicle’s worth?

Many thanks - it was a long journey until this point. 1.5 years process....
As one of the last points is some external stuff: new tires and overhauling the wheels - summer set just completed and winter set will start soon.
Just started a new thread for my G4 project....

my journey on the interior refurbishment process will be continued.
I didn't document however recently installed the console fridge and decided to replace some parts there:
this tray was missing, so simple just unpack and put into place:

central finisher part: it will require some work:

two dumpers for the lower and upper glove boxes: as a typical problem closing them not really working

plus a new tray for the central console:

with these last touches I trust my interior will be like completely factory new.
All parts from duckworth - big thanks to Sophie and Christopher for their help and support.

This looks like properly great job! Do I understand correctly that you filled/sanded/painted the lower part of the door cards? What materials did you use for that?

That is correct. Only plastic parts were not handled / renewed - the entire door card had to be disassembled into parts, renewed and plastic welded together again. some special material was used to re-cover those parts, will ask the person who did that.
