New MK3 Dubber!

Jeez, I gotta catch up Another cool thing to retrim is the headliner and the parcel tray... as well as door cards, have you done any of that yet?

They are next on the list mate. Once Ive done the door trims (im doing the centre inserts aswell) and the glove box and lower trim under the steering wheel, Ill do the headliner and parcel shelf. Only bought 1mx1m of the fabric (12$) which is enough to the do the 4 lower door trims for now.

First one took me 2.5 hrs to do in the end, second one I've done in less than 30mins!!

I have heard to get a nice round shape for retriming use spray on glue/ hot glue gun. Once half dry, use heat gun to melt the glue again than press down it should should conform to the shape nicely.

Nice work Lorenz I am really liking the suede look mate it looks really cool, I'm doing suede aswell to my headliner and pillars and now I might have to extend that it looks frikin sick man NICE

really nice project man - just the inspiration I need to get back to work on the re-trimming project. I did the headliner (and a DIY thread at the same time) but I stopped there because I cbf getting the door cards out and the pillars off. Spotlight on the weekend here I come!!!

DIY FTW!

good to see some ghetto mods in the works. Should be pretty neat once it's all done.

Retrimming really is pretty easy isn't it? (once you get the hang of it! )

[Lorenz]

Thanks for the comments guys hehe

Yeah not too hard after the first few goes at it, you pick up a few tips and tricks and easy ways of doing things.

Bboy, Ill have to look at your DIY when I do my headliner. Will look soo much better than the current cream colour.

Please be sure its flame retarded material, just image if something breaks or someone who's driving your drops their but and sets the whole car ablaze

I know I'm harping on about this but its a really significant safety issue.

When its burnt they wont know what material it is...

[Golf Houso]

I've found a few ciggy burns on my golf's rear seats... the flame quite clearly didn't spread. I'm pretty sure every car from the last 50 odd years has had at the least partially fire proof interior, think about how people smoked in the old days...

[peedman]

You got to be kidding me, fire proof interior? Its got more to do about how the ember of a cigarette butt is not strong enough to ignite most things let alone fabric. A cigarette butt will not ignite petrol fumes even tho its temperature is above the ignition point of petrol!
