The DEFINITIVE guide to retrimming...

thats a bit f**king cool!

so hang on - he totally cut out the recessed bit?
Edited by: richgit

 

Just sliced it, pulled the fabric through, then glued it on the inner side of the card. I'd be adding a few layers of fibreglass and some roof flashing to the back if I was doing it. May as well make a good job of it.....

 

Hmmm, not a bad idea that. Wonder how the join along the slice actually looks? I guess if you take your time the results could be quite good. Easier for sure.

Rich, how long before we get a glorious example of the alternative from Blighty?

 

Have you got the final result yet, some pics of it would be quality. Im up for doing this too.

Well in for having the balls to rip it apart!

 

ok, finished!!!




my only problem was the left hand side recess, as you can see, it didnt stretch far enough inside. i stuck it down anyway, but im going to fill in that section with fibreglass to build it up to a higher level. Ill practise on the drivers door first.


Also need to find chrome / black strips to separate the blue / black sections.......

 

That looks pretty damn good!! Better than I thought it would for sure!

 

Yeah, nice effort!!! You've inspired me to give it a crack!!

 

Good work, shame about that last little bit, thats the sort of thing that'd really bug me. It really is excellent for Version 1.0 though, next one will look plush as!

Whats that missing section where the pocket/speaker should be? You got a custom speaker housing down there? If its home made I'd be well up for having a peek, if you've got some snaps.

 

I got chrome effect strips on a roll for interior or exterior use from by MHW frm Banshee Motorsport

 

halfords sell chrome strip ona roll rich git, wud do same job as VAG stuff.

 

halfrauds sell chrome strips? excellent, might have to pop over to have a gander. Anyone at BVF tomorrow is welcome to come and look at the door, only one will be done though!

ah, and the huge gap is a custom speaker pod, lemme upload a pic...

 

not as nice as sana's arse

what was i doing pointing at it!

 

lmao, a tad random for this thread matey! but fair point

 

Errrrrr, They look ok I guess but is it really THAT hard???

 

uh huh, actually.

 

He is jealous, because he looks like a gay.

 

its very ...well.....blue.
Looks good though, I am trying to find some black suede type material, where did you get yours? and how much

 

Same as above, thought that sort of stuff would be easier to find. Apparently not.

 

Lynco jewellers suppliers!


They supply us with material to trim our stands and ring boxes.... just got sh!t loads to retrim my doors! 10 for a metre...... but its 2 metres wide!

 

blue box for your ring?!?!
That taking re-trimming a bit far isn't ot!!
