My re-trimmed cars.







MAterial purchased from Cobra directly. Should be £40 per square metre (well, 130 x 100), but as i had the seats, tehy done it for about £26 psm)

Guide, 1stly, be prepared to take your time. I've used high adesive spray tack (glue). I've cut the material int the basic shape to ensure all the doorcard would be covered (remembering to push the material round the doorcard to cover the indentations on the doorcard).

Then, spray both the doorcard and the back of the material, and inch by inch push the material onto the card. Making sure to push it right into the curves. THis means that the material isn't straight as you move along the dc, but, and this is where the time is taken, you can push the material down, and juststretch it and compress it to fit into every gap.

Once its completly stuck down, i jsut cut the material so it had 1" extra, then folded the around the top and bottom of the dc to make sure its all neat and tidy,

Then, cut all the holes of the doorcard thru the material, again, leaving some extra to fold under.

Voila, done

I felt that steves comments were out of place without a picture of the bonnet. that way everyone can decied if they like it or not without relying on just one person opinion

Nae probs I must stress that you really need to take time over it. I didn't first time and it started coming unstuck. I've re-done it and now it fits better than ever.

Plus its cool saying u've retrimmed most of your own interior
