Default sapphire doorcards

Has anyone upholstered doorcars?

On mine the leather starts to peel of and shrink.

Thinking about to put them to a specialist and re-wrap them.

Any pics of re-wraped ones?


Thanks

Have you tried the heat gun (Heißluftföhn) and spray glue treatment? Worked OK-ish for me.

Hey Alex,
here a foto from my doorcards.
I've bought them from "Phynx" at Turbostylez.
I don't know what he has paid for it.

Cheers Nick

in the grand scale of things no!!! you will have to speak to raj for exact prices but im sure the whole dash comes to bout Ł140!! worth every penny in my opinion you would not belive how much it transforms a 80's interior!!

as for the door cards bout Ł80 for 2, n with leather door cards getting so expensive for a mint set its just another worth while option

The flocked/carbon mix looks really great, but dont know if those work with a standard interior?!?

Did also the heatgun on them old doorcards, but the leather was shrunk too much.


I think I will go the rewraped leather route like NickSt ones, or maybe suede.
