Other than the sun visors (going to need my Mums sewing skills to make them look right) the re-trim is done.

Front door cards:

Parcel self (off cut was big enough so I thought "why not?")

Couple of how it looks all together:

I thought it was pretty easy tbh didn't you take the original covering off first?

Fair do's :lol: If you ever do it again though, take the extra couple of mins to rip the carpet off, much easier :thumbsup:

Bro, this looks sweet! Any tips for doing the headlining and door cards? Was planning it as a project for next week... 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:

Cheers :). 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. lol

going to attempt this myself with the ostrich stuff I've got. was it easy to do?

To put it bluntly, no. It's a pain in the arse. Doing the first side is easy, getting the other side and the bottom is fiddly and "fun".
