Well done, how much time did it took? Nice result. Post an image when fitted back please to complete. What obstruction did you experienced? Or was it a smoothly proces?

took about 2 hours per door. the rear doors are the easy ones . the front ones are more difficult as they have the the door bins. the faux leather i used was not streachy , so go for one that has some play in it . take pics of it befor you pop out the plastic welds so you have a ref guide when you reasamble. use a good quality panel glue / i used gripfill for construction work. then use inch srews with washers and screw into were the plastic weld were, wile holding the far side to make sure you dont go through the otherside that will determan how many washers you use , but if your doing it start with the rear first you will get the jist of it fairly quick. im sure there is other ways of doing it but i did not want any rattles upon refit . i will post more pics soon when compleet. i will post a guide to the leds in a different post . im not an expert in any of this so keep that in mind befor u take your cards apart and do it at your own risk !! rob

Thanks, alltough a late reaction, still interested in the overall images. And maybe I would use a soft foam covering first and than apply the Final fabric for more smoothness. I guess I would use some sort of stretchy alcantare as a finish. Good job!
Anyone else done such a thing? Last edited by Azur; 12th May 2020 at 13:52.. |
