Having Purchased some Replacement Leather Seats, and ditching my Tweed ones, I started on replacing the Tweed Panels with Leather-look Black Vinyl.

 

From this : :hurl:

 

To This : :cool:

 

 

and from these : :hurl:

 

 

to this : (one done, minus the door opening lever bit) :cool:

 

 

One more to go....then I got to fit it all back in. :rolleyes:

 

Panels were easy, once u get a hang of dealing with the curves, but took a long time....door much harder, and a real pain in the a**e to do.

 

Probably took about 6 hours to do the panels in total, and about 2 hours for the drivers door.

 

3 Metres of Material and Brush on Evo-stick Impact Instant contact adhesive (not the solvent -free one, thats crap).

 

Total cost, about £35 :duffer:

looks great :D

Looks like a good job mate :D

 

I have done mine in Alcantera - a wee bit trickier than vinyl, not finished the doors yet

 

looks the biz :D

 

Need to adjust me glove box a little (this weekend)

 

tub of Evostick glue (free) and 2m of Alcantera £5 :duffer: :duffer: :duffer:

Goit, it looks good, were did you get the Alcantera from?

looks 10 times better mate :duffer:

Looking very good mate. I found the hardest part, other than the doors, was the centre consol lid!

 

Too much black on mine now, so I'm gona change it to Dark Red Leather instead.

very nice job looks great I've do two cars ,the hard bits are the panels at the of the centre consol.Found super glue did the job there

Looking good!

 

Goit - Where did you get the Alcantara from, just done a quick search but cant fid a supplier anywhere.

 

Anyone recommend a website?

Looks great both Legrath and Goit!! :D

Doors will fit aswell chunk. :cool:

I am so impressed, im going to get some light viynal and do mine....

 

Did you have to remove the tweed covering, and was it easy if you did..worried that if it does not come off well, i may be left with small marks on the plastic that could show through...

 

Top job though mate

You have to take the Tweed of all the panels, except for the doors. I found that It comes of easily, the glue they use is'nt very strong.
