Main stages of work
Changing the interior of a car usually includes several main steps, which include:
- Dismantling. At this stage, the interior elements should be removed. In this case, it is necessary to show maximum care: some factory elements will be required in subsequent work, the rest can be sold.
- Soundproofing. Everyone knows that sound insulation of domestic cars is often almost completely absent. In this regard, when working with a VAZ 2114, interior tuning must necessarily include the isolation stage. Thanks to this, it will become quieter and warmer inside during the cold season.
- Modernization of the dashboard. Another big disadvantage of VAZ 2114 cars is the low-quality front panel: the materials used, the hard-to-read instrument panel, the unattractive appearance - all this indicates the need for modernization and replacement of elements.
- Upholstery. The easiest part of the job. There is a fairly large selection of seats on the market to suit every taste, ready-made side panels, and upholstery is also easy to choose to suit your needs and desires. It should be noted that you should not change the upholstery of the original seats, since their quality is unlikely to allow you to endure this procedure with dignity and continue to serve. It is better to make a complete replacement with ready-made elements.
The listed stages are the main ones. Now we can look at each in more detail.
Dismantling the interior
Few people think about the quality of work during dismantling. But this stage can greatly influence further work, so it is advisable to perform it as professionally as possible.
Before you begin the first preparatory stage, it is important to consider the following points:
- Estimation of the scope of subsequent work. When completely redoing the interior, the best solution would be to get rid of all the elements, right down to the bare body. This will allow you to prepare the car most thoroughly for subsequent modernization.
- Planning dismantling work in stages. Even in an unattractive old salon, some elements can be reused. Therefore, dismantling should be done especially carefully, dividing the entire scope of work into separate stages: removing the trim, dashboard, and so on. A detailed description of the dismantling procedure can be found in the operating manual supplied with the vehicle.
- Before you begin any dismantling work, you must disconnect the battery.
- When dismantling, it is better to number the parts immediately to avoid subsequent problems during assembly.
- Special attention to wiring. Even minor damage can lead to a complete replacement of the electrical system in the car. Connecting sections of wiring are very dangerous, so they must be avoided and a comprehensive replacement must be made in case of breaks.
- Bare metal surfaces are cleaned of remaining dirt and degreased.
These are only recommendations, but following them will not be superfluous at all when performing dismantling work on a VAZ 2114 interior tuning with your own hands.

Do-it-yourself tuning of the VAZ 2114 interior
I did the tuning of the VAZ 2114 interior with my own hands
.
To begin with, I installed a chrome console on the gearbox. Then the instrument panel was covered with carbon film; it imitates the look of carbon well and was sealed very well. The old seat quickly became loose and did not hold well, so I could not feel comfortable during the trip, so I installed a special adapter.
I didn’t really like
the standard rubber mats Fortunately, it wasn’t difficult to find them, because they were sold on every corner, you just need to find those mats that match the design and style of the car’s interior. I put a small pad on the seat belts, it looks impressive. 0:1522
I screwed on the support for my left leg, before this the floor was constantly getting dirty, now I don’t have to constantly go around with a vacuum cleaner and clean the floor. Plus, I bought the pedal covers as a set, they are very easy to install. You just need to unscrew the standard ones and install the fashionable ones; you don’t need to have any special talents or tools. I found a special attachment that visually enlarged the gearbox knob, now it looks like an airplane steering wheel. The steering wheel also did not escape replacement; the old one was extremely disobedient. Power window
no, there is a simple manual lift, I changed it to a steel one.
The acoustics
are also at the highest level.
At first I wanted to get tinted, but then they passed a law to increase fines, this stopped me, because it’s not an option to pay large fines every time. The interior was lined with a special material that prevented the accumulation of dirt and dust, and looked very nice in appearance. I changed all the light bulbs, before that there was a yellow light that was emitted by incandescent light bulbs. Instead I installed LED bulbs 0:3464 0:9

Flocking the interior of a VAZ 2114
Previously, a car was a luxury, but gradually it is becoming a means of transportation. The number of car owners is growing every day. But people tend to see a car not only as a means of transport, but also as an element of their image; it should be unique, unlike anything else. Some people buy expensive brands because of this, but not everyone can afford such pleasure.

You won’t surprise anyone with domestic cars now; in the standard version, with such a car you won’t stand out from the gray stream, tuning comes to the rescue. Today we will look at flocking the interior of a VAZ 2114. Flocking means covering the interior of the car with a velvet cut. The word comes from the English "flock", which means fluff. It was first used in tuning in America, since it was invented during waste recycling. But in our country, Swiss flock is especially popular. But the ubiquitous China is entering this market and has begun to compete with other companies, especially since it has a wide range of colors. But again quality suffers, this is a common problem throughout China. They make a lot of different products, but it is so low quality and shoddy that a true amateur will not purchase their product. So the interiors of expensive cars are not covered with Chinese materials.

The Swiss have only 18 shades of flowers and they remain unchanged for 10 years. When choosing flock, a car enthusiast should know some points. The density of the flock should not be too low, otherwise it will be extremely inconvenient to install it and such a product can tear very easily. In our country, the standard is 1 mm, this is the ideal value for a car. In some cases, 2 mm is preferable, this applies to the luggage compartment, lower panels, etc. Flocking the interior of a VAZ 2114 involves spraying the entire interior. This type of tuning is not only for aesthetics, although it looks very beautiful. Flocking hides flaws or damage to interior elements well, which causes indignation of the owner

Soundproofing VAZ 2114
The domestic auto industry is most often distinguished by the fact that the interior is quite noisy while driving, and does not retain heat in the cold season. The insulation of the car can hardly be called thoughtful; it is practically absent.
It is important to note that sound insulation should not be partial; this will be of little use. In addition to the interior, you also need to work on the doors, trunk, front panel and engine shield.
Installation work 2114 interior tuning includes the following:
- Vizomat MP is applied as the first layer. They cover all surfaces in the trunk, cover the floor, ceiling, and doors. The material involves heating it with a hairdryer and then removing the protective film, after which it is rolled out with a roller. All this work must be done as quickly as possible, so complex shapes are cut out in advance. During the gluing process, it is important to ensure that there are no gaps between the pieces and that there should be no bubbles. The final insulation directly depends on how well this stage is performed.
- The next layer is a vibration damper. This material is designed to absorb vibration from the resonance of the wheels and body when driving. It also serves as thermal insulation, which will help retain heat in the cold season, and in hot weather it will prevent warm air from entering inside. It is best when the pieces are used whole. But this is an ideal option, and when doing work alone, this is practically unattainable. If separate pieces are used, the connection is made with an overlap of 20 centimeters. It is also necessary to remember that all kinds of hatches, technological openings, and ventilation grilles remain open; they should be bypassed when gluing. This is necessary to maintain the microclimate, ensure air movement, and prevent the formation of mold. At the same time, the area covered with vibration-absorbing material should be as large as possible.
- The third layer of the VAZ 2114 interior tuning is an Accent 15 centimeters thick.
- Next, Spleen is glued on, which also performs heat and sound insulation functions.
After the changes made, the interior will become much more comfortable.
Installing the steering shaft lock
Tuning in the form of integration of the steering shaft lock allows you to strengthen the complex of security systems. This is a mechanical system that can be combined with electronics, and can also be used separately - tuning the interior of a VAZ 2114, the photo of which is presented below, illustrates such a mechanism in its finished form.
A special coupling consisting of two elements must be installed on the steering shaft. One of them should have a T-shaped milled groove for installing a stopper. It must be inserted at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the shaft axis. When trying to manipulate the steering wheel, the stopper in the coupling groove should rest against the strut bracket, preventing rotation. To unlock the mechanism, you need to unlock the stopper lock with a special key.
Interior trim
After completing the sound and thermal insulation work, you can begin interior design and design.
To do this, you can go in different ways:
- New casing. You can leave the old one, but it is unlikely to satisfy both aesthetically and functionally. The most budget option would be to find suitable panels of better quality from other car brands. You can completely re-cover it with high-quality material by stretching the fabric over the internal panels. It will be difficult to do this on your own, and ordering professional reupholstery is expensive - it all depends on the available budget.
- The simplest and relatively affordable way to change the interior almost beyond recognition is to install new seats. Comfortable sports-type seats are available for sale, the mounting of which is compatible with the VAZ 2114. They can be quite expensive, but the result is worth it. It is also possible to replace them with the seats you like from another car, but you need to be prepared for the fact that the fasteners will not fit, to the point that they will need to be completely replaced. In this case, work is carried out before insulation begins.
- The front panel is always visible and at hand. Therefore, I especially want it to have a material that is pleasing to the eye and touch, and has smooth, attractive shapes. At the same time, it is necessary to understand that if it is replaced, work with the wiring will be required - it is better to mark the wires in advance and combine them to avoid difficulties during connection.
- When replacing the front panel, it makes sense to also make changes to the instrument panel, media system, and sound system of the car. However, this issue should definitely be dealt with by a professional.
- Small parts. The gear knob, the center panel keys, the door handles - every little thing can add unique chic to the design.
- Backlighting is actively gaining popularity. Inexpensive LED strips, spot lights that imitate the starry sky - everything is limited only by imagination and possibilities.
Where to start
VAZ 2114 is an updated version of the already classic “Nine”. Engineers have improved the technical characteristics of the machine, which makes it very popular in our market. But many of the shortcomings remain the same, including interior comfort. This is why tuning is necessary. Many companies today offer professional services, but they are too expensive considering the price of the machine itself. Therefore, you can easily do it on your own.
The upgrade instructions are as follows:
- You need to start with the trim of the sun visors.
- Next, it is preferable to replace the doors and interior upholstery.
- You can finish it off with new covers.
The easiest way, of course, is to deal with the visors. To do this, they are removed, the old polyethylene is removed, and a pattern is made along the contour. Next, you need to cut out the selected shape from the fabric, leaving a centimeter of margin for the seam. Connects the pattern with internal stitches. Using a steel ruler, you need to put on the cover, filling the internal space with foam rubber. The second visor is upgraded in the same way as the first.
