The door cards are by far the worst ones to do! But like you have already said, just take your time and make sure you are using a good adhesive.

All the best bud

Good work buddy, hard job but you seem to be doing well with it :D

I found the door cards really easy to do, bit of a pain if you have door mounted seatbelts because of the where it goes into the door.

They were a PITA but with a bit of preserverance, they got done., Found the 'pointy'bit at the back of the door card quite hard to get right

Top job mate, lovin the seats - wanna get shot of mine I think and get some lightweight alcantera ones.

 

The only thing Im not keen on is the red *ahem - cough *pink* dash clock cover. I think it looks too much. I had mine done in red and went back to original black and it looks far better - but thats just my personal opinion.

maybe your right, i just had some left over so thought id put it there, i might use some black alcantara for that part.

 

Also got the harnesses in today. Nest is door cards and rear sides and seats

Think i will be tbh... Just tyrying to think of a way around it... need to carpet it or something...

nice job there looking good what is alcantera like compared to leather?

its soft and smooth like suede.

mine is all leather, I would prefer alcantera tho

think its better to sit on (not sliding around as much) and a warmer feel to it.

I do think alcantera wears quicker from cleaning tho.

you get flat spots from rubbing/wiping.

Woohoo pretty much finished, Next i think im gunna spray the door openers gloss black as they have faded and look grim.

 

Anyway here are some pics of the finished insides, Rear seats out and carpet added and door cards done, im not satisfied with the finish but i can always do again, Boot needs a clean and excuse messy wires etc. Holes for struts and harness need tidying up. Old seat belts GONE, no more catching the seatbelts in the door when closing and having the belts snag you when you open the doors, i hated that grrrr

the original plastic cover had shrunk and split so i just trimmed it with some grey stuff i had lol

I always thought the black alacantara that they did was gorgeous, i bought some red like you did but gave it away with the car.
