Operation red suede re-trim

[bigpete]

Hi all I have decided to spend some much needed money re-trimming my shocking headlining, door cards & seats in faux red suede!

I have already removed & repaired my spare roof lining & tomorrow the work will commence. I will be leaving the seats till last as I still havent decided what I would like, although my GL seats are in very good condition & comfortable

I'll start posting some pictures up when the headlining is in & you can be assured I will start hurting people who wear dirty shoes & drop litter in my car

Hoping it all goes well......

(p.s. it looks like I'm going to have to put refurbing & spraying the alloys gold for my KA off for a day or so, but I'm ok unless my old dear finds out )

The headlining has now been re-trimmed and is looking pimping, next the door cards & dash Mharvey caught a sneak preview before it was fitted

Does anyone know where you can buy decent leather/leatherette seat covers either for a mk2 or mk3 seats so I can unclip the old ones and replace them?

I've got a pic of the headlining but have lost my phone lead for uploading them I've decided to do everything else in black suede to set the red off nicely

lmao cheers, that's going to be off the road for a wee while till I get it exactly as I want it

A little update - I've bought tons more red & black suede & I have ripped all the door cards out & I'm currently smoothing out a few lines before they get re-upholstered in red suede

All the interior door handles, trim bits, ashtray in the back door & parts of the dash are getting covered in real carbon fibre cloth & set with resin ;D

will start a build thread sometime soon if anyone is interested
