Posted November 14, 20168 yr This below is a picture of my Bose rear speaker covers, not sure if it's specific to the Bose ones but the part number is 28190-30P00 and they're discontinued. I have put the new fabric on top to show how faded mine were. Now i'm going to keep the fabric i am using a secret for now but below you can see the darker area that was protected from the elements by the Bose 'badge' on the original 20 odd year old covers. The badge is held on with these, i thought they may be difficult to remove but it was easy, it's a combination of teasing up the retainer ring and pushing down on the proud prong, then put somewhere safe as they're tiny.
November 14, 20168 yr I've got a new set of these front and back so I must of got close to the last set from concept. So what material do you plan to put in its place ? A pair of black tights from your mamma :clown::)
November 14, 20168 yr Author The reason i didn't put this information here in my build thread if you like, it's because you can have your fun because the fabric i am using are my wife's tights :laugh:, yes that's right my wifey's black tights. She tells me they were never worn !! After cutting off the lacy tops :blush:, i slid over and you can see below at the top it's on once and hardly covering the lattice plastic work but the lower part it's doubled up, these may look good stretched and thin on soft shaved long legs but for this job doubling up is a must. Some of you fellas may have your own stash for those special evenings but these really do work well and took me no time at all to cover. There's not a great deal to pin down on the underside because of their naturally clingyness and a drop of hot glue works a treat in the odd place or two. The prongs of the Bose badge are just pushed through and the retainers do there job......
November 14, 20168 yr I would like to do my own, they look good! Great job done. Sorry another great job done! How long do we wait for the fabric used? As you see I'm retired now with a few hours to spare for jobs to be done! Also my side mirrors have indicator strips in them that need replacement is it easy?
November 14, 20168 yr Author I'm not sure that hosiery has much UV-resistance........ You may well be right Great Mondo but i have lots of lady visitors and they're forever leaving their undergarments about - so it's a waste not to put them to good use :innocent:.

November 14, 20168 yr Author Lets have some finished pics......... Very forgiving on the corners, just naturally clingy :yes: Of course i'm a fan of OEM, hence using black...........there are some perhaps more risky members that may prefer using red stockings to cover theirs :tongue_smilie:.

November 14, 20168 yr Author In my own little world i am happy, longevity i'm not so sure but i believe i have the correct denier on them.... Final pic in the car, you can see the blackness achieved, contrasting against some of the plastic boot trim pieces...... Edited November 14, 20168 yr by phutumsch
November 14, 20168 yr Standards are starting to fall Andy that's not OEM :nono: So what denier did you use? :biggrin:
November 14, 20168 yr My sisters kids wear the really thick black ones for school, always laddering them most days, wonder how they would look, must get an old pair when I'm next down there.

November 14, 20168 yr While i have had a great laugh reading this thread i cant help thinking that the covers are supposed to be grey? Or am i bein stupid? :laugh:
November 14, 20168 yr They are Black for the BOSE style. I just recently purchased a new set from concept. While i have had a great laugh reading this thread i cant help thinking that the covers are supposed to be grey? Or am i bein stupid? :laugh:
November 14, 20168 yr I bought speaker fabric off eBay, £5 for 1mx1m I think and it works well. Unfortunately I do not get lady friends on the daily like some people [emoji38]
November 14, 20168 yr They are Black for the BOSE style. I just recently purchased a new set from concept. I see, i have the very limited edition JL Audio covers in mine :biggrin:
November 14, 20168 yr Tights on the rear lights next Andy? LOL Good idea though, although they are still available from CZP. Great thread [emoji41][emoji106] Almost a pun there!

Unfortunately I do not get lady friends on the daily like some people [emoji38] Never thought to look at buying fabric, if these don't last or i get a ladder in mine that'll be what i'll be doing. You don't always need lady friends btw, depends which kind of circles you move in i guess honey :winkiss:.
