Material On the Door Cards + Carpets

[sirhc1991]

Lets Say Instead Of buy whole new door cards You could Change the material... is this possible... and how hard would it be?

OoOh and is there a guide? ;) lol

And if i wanted to Change the carpet in my car to match the said material where could i get it from? :)

Material can be changed you just pull out that section and get the fabric and use spray glue but it can be hard to do.
For the carpet its hard to find coloured ones I think but could be wrong. Easiest I kno is red out of a 106 rallye.

nah the re doning door cars is pretty easy with a lot of patience. and i used evo stick cos spray glue bubbled up with the heat

I tried patientkly but kept getting creases where the door curves :(
help!

[marcusd]

haha i found if i glued that part first pressed it in let it dry and then glued all around it, it was alot easier cos nothing else stuck down where it shouldn't. i found this out the second time.

[sirhc1991]

Thank You boys :D

So basically if im going to do it (which i am) i get the material.. glue it down starting with the curves... leave that to dry, then go back and do the flat parts?

:)

[marcusd]

yea if u use the same glue as i did the evo stick, paste it on the insert and the material wait for it to go tacky and then press down and press down well and make sure u don;t stretch it too much othere wise when u do the rest it'll pull off then just go for it

thats mine altho now i have done the handles black again.

[Itz_Jamez]

Im gonna have to have a bash at this, how much is this faux leather?

[sirhc1991]

not to much, about 6 quid a foot i think... but you can use anything... i was thinking of having shag rugg carpets in mine and shag rugg on the door cards.. ha but then thought again...

you can use any fabric i found out... and the same with the carpets, and fabric.. just might be a bit trickyer :)

(sorry about poor spelling)

maybe a stupid question.... do your remove the original material on the door cards??

Yeah you do mate, also helps to sand down the foam underneath the original material, this will make the glue to sitck ten times better, (found this out the hard way, applied the glue and within a week starting it started to peel the old crummy foam off of the insert!)

[Jay_]

and next stupid question any idea of the sort of size i will be wantin? front and rear....
jus tryin to work out costs!!

[wardy1010]

im going to do mine as the previous owner has left a pretty tab burn and torn fabric in mine ... i was thinking black and white check or something different im not sure what to put on mine yet

[marcusd]

i just found some wicked blue snakes skin i want i want i want.

[Fantom]

alcantara is the way forward!

[sirhc1991]

alcantara is the way forward, if youve won the lottery!

[zakkgray]

there a place in peterborough called K J styling where a friend got his done. relitavly cheap as well. i emailed them today as im getting mine done so i'll let you know how much it costs if you haven't done it yet.

[marcusd]

do it yourself even cheaper and fairly easy

[Lippy]

front doors can be done with a meter, almost exactly 1 meter wide!
I just did mine but will be redoing soon as I dont like the alcantara and im redoing the complete shape of the door cards!
Use EVOstik impact adhesive or contact adhesive, you need to be 21 to buy it thats how good it is!
Carpet glue is useless... may as well use boogers would work just as well!

Heres mine

[adam_saxo]

Ignore this, just read lippys post and it answered my question!

[frenchyboy82]

Post some progress pics dude, need to do mine! Got 106gti's fitted but no door cards

[Lippy]

trashed the blue door card inserts of mine tonight, they are now uncovered and the door card itself is covered in scratches all over ;) (luckily i did it on purpose)

[VJOFurio]

Carbon inserts on the door cards look good!

[rhysaxo]
