    that's what I'd do anyways. mk 1 door cards are so much simpler thou!
    Yeah, I'm planning on dropping by at the end of the week for a look see when I have a day off.

    The plan is to pull apart the card and see how it all goes together and see what my options are. Then get some decent materials and try to do it right the first time, the amount of materials required for one door shouldn't be too much, even if I do screw it up (or not like the look) so I'm prepared to at least try.

    What do you reckon? Carbon Fibre contact over the whole thing??

    hahhaha

    I'm geussing the rest of you're interior is black, so I reckon stick with black, but go somethign with a different texture. Or something with a pattern, that is predominately black.

    Unless you have a theme colour., but then again, no.

    I have a theme, till now it has been very black and very OEM+ Something I want to continue, but I am considering a few small splashes of colour.... which is half the idea behing a spare door card, I can experiment without destroying the car. If it sucks, I can simply not continue.

    the vr6 doorcards are a hard one to do without making it look like a retrimmed doorcard if you know what I mean.
    I reckon if they aint broke, dont fix them!

    This is something Ive been wanting to do for a while now aswell. Ive done the lower pocket trim already, but the centre parts (either fabric or leather) looks to be a pain in teh bum.

    I used faux suade, aka microfibre suade, in black and came out nicely.

    i like this alot.

    the door cards i mean. the seats are just a bit too much.
    would like just the door cards and perhaps the drivers airbag and something on the passenger side.

    Woah!
    I love the colours and scheme of the interior, but far out that's a lot of money...I'd rather pay a grandmother to sew it all up and I'll fit it hahaha.
