Hey Lampy... More info please

What do you want them covered in?

If vinyl do you want as close to original or leather print look? anything fancy like lines or so?

Colour?

More than happy to help but its hard to say till i understand what your after, if you can post a pic i can better estimate the cost involved

nolans on paget street (i think) have some awesome vinyl there.

they got some which look like brushed alloy and some that look like carbon fibre.

crazy stuff!!!

i did my mates jet ski seat in the silver carbon fibre stuff and just keeps on getting compliments where ever he goes and has held up to the salt water pretty good too, costs about $30 pm though. the brushed alloy stuff looks great but has bugger all stretch in it so things like door arm rests need a couple of stitch lines, great for just general glue-and-stick stuff, lighter and cheaper than the real thing. i recommend you have a geez if you are near Hindmarsh but you may be aware already :thumbsup:

Heres a pic of how i did my old lancer, the diamonds and mitsu logo were quilted on, and i used carpet on the lower doors as everyone uses their foot when getting out... :evil:

Im using a carbon look fabric inbetween the leather buckets in the back of the 1600 when i get to it, im liking the stuff out now so many textures... Show ride glitter vinyl rocks, and all weave, leather print is so good nowadays can be made to match leather to save money

Its best to break plain black doortims with something to make them pop..! Lines horizontal or vertical lines, diagonal lines or diamonds, Im thinking of using the datsun red and blue in narow stripes and making them flash from the front to back of the door set and having diagonal lines running below on the kick area

i love that subaru suede stuff. it is artificial but looks exactly the same and feels the same as the real gear, except 1/4 the cost and weight!

Hey all,

Heres some pics of my new door trims cards, these have been made from originals and i have the standard style push in clips on them

Got a few sets to make up atm, so ill keep updating with pics as they progress, mine are fairly comlpex in design, so i might do my mate Jasons first. I think he wants plain black or something simple

May be able to do trims and stuff wrapped up to your door, it will save money, then just trim the boot yourself its fairly easy... :D

Is it a 1600 wagon? I havent got templates from them yet as the rear doors are different, but if you can send me stuff down ill pay to send it back.

Seat covers, if you can get them off and send them i will sew them up, then its easy to slide them back on and hog ring them tight.

Any questions just shoot me a PM or ask here, not out to make millions just helpin out Ozdatters in my spare time

Simon :thumbsup:
