They look fantastic, but in sort they r absolutly useless

perfect for a show car or track car but they offer no arm support, handles or pocket,


So im thinking boput going back to standard door cards, but i fancy having them flocked along with my dash

My dash was originally flocked at Suffolk Flocking Services when it was owned by the FF mag, cost about £100 to have it done (mates rates) I think.

Here's my dash, I'd like to look into having it redone at some stage as it is worn in places.

I'm going to have my door cards done by a company called A Touch Of Flock.

A few picks of their previous work:

They quoted me £40 per door card for the grey area (Below) which will include the door handles.

The chap I have been speaking to is called David Elston, I got his details via recommendation from Max Baxter off here, if you mention this I'm sure he'll sort you out with a good price.

*EDIT* Pictures now work

No mate, not that bad at all really I'm just fussy and want it all looking top tip when I can afford to have it done.

If you look after it then it will last a very long time, cleaning in can be a bitch sometimes as you'll get it looking mint one minute and the next you'll be cleaning it again, lol.

I bought a lint roller to do mine with, looks awesome.

If they're the same door cards you're after getting done, I would prob recommend getting either two different blacks or adding in a grey or something to break it up. Looks weird in one big lump like that, lacking detail as such.
