Koop Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Nice work mate, I was looking at my parcel shelf today & had that 'why the hell not' feeling too haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Cheers for the comments @Koop, the parcel shelf was probally the hardest thing to do, as it's all squidgy it's a pain to get it crease free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I thought it was pretty easy tbh didn't you take the original covering off first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Nah, couldn't be arsed lol. Glue stuck to the fabric well so didn't see a need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Fair do's If you ever do it again though, take the extra couple of mins to rip the carpet off, much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering how difficult it was?Cheers . Do the headlining first. It's the easiest bit to do and will give you a feel for how the fabric you use stretches etc. Take your time, it can get very frustrating if a you can't get a corner to work properly. Also, try and use somthing like an old bed sheet to get an idea of what you need to do to get the fabric in the corners etc.Looking good fella, what you going to do with seats, retrim?Thank you, I'll be getting audi tt mk2 seats for the front and rear. Lupo seats are crap, so no point spending money on them imo.Couple of arty farty pics: Edited November 11, 2012 by Deadmetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAh Porsche seast have been done a thousand times over.The gear stick looks good man. Good effort on getting fired in with the sewing machine Thank you, had to have a few trial runs on the machine, was interesting to say the least. lolgoing to attempt this myself with the ostrich stuff I've got. was it easy to do?To put it bluntly, no.
