If it had slightly more original looking heater controls it would be that bit better. It certainly has a great finish !!! Is it flocked and who did it for you none the less something different to see and full marks to you

If the 'flocking' is coming off parts your getting done then take it back!

If your doing and it's not staying on then your not doing it right!

Speak to Twins and he'll tell you where to get it done properly, will look much better

i already know where to get it done , i will not use flocking , it will wear off , ive seen it happen in so many cars over so many years , i prefer alcantara it looks better AND lasts longer

my money, my choice

thanks for the tip though fella, ive been around a few years and i have actually got some experience in trimming materials

and ive never had any flocking done so how can it be coming off?

Where did I say you 'HAVE' had flocking done!?

Yes it's your money, your choice, am I bothered? No! But you deserve one of these
