looks very nice that does m8, you planning on covering anything else in alcantara?

 

[Curley]

I actually like the centre console bit, good idea.

Did you do the light housing?

The lights above your head between the sun visors?

How did you do the centre console then?

no i didnt even think about that..im going out now to have a look, the centre console was easy peasy, the parts come off quite easily(although i did break the clips) and then simply cut alcantara to rough shape, spray with carpet glue and wrap. then its just a case of making it look smart. i used a small scrap of material to make a type of beading for the top of the centre console where it joins the dashboard, it just makes it look a little more 'professional'

Is it easy to do mate? looks well

Really like that mate, thinking of doing something similar if i can find some alcantara to match RS Ph1 seats.

Think it would look good if the dash strips were done too, so the center console doesn't look too out of place.

to be honest i did find it pretty easy, it really helps to plan everything before you start and be carefull when spraying the glue as it can make quite a mess. im really pleased with it so thanks for your comment

i was thinking the same thing to be honest, i might just give it a go. cheers

I would love my whole dash to match the doors & boot install I had done in my last car lol

 

[Luke001]

Looks sweet man...i still love mine from when i did it :approve:

 

[liquid_force]

thank you bud just done mine took me an hour looks much better

 

[dajones]

would it look silly to do the whole lower part of the dash in alcantara and flock the top half?

 

[jack_davey]

looks good did exactly the same bits on mine a couple years back, still looks good as new

 

[clairemae]

looks smart i quite fancy having a go at doing my pillars.

With the right colours it would look immense

good stuff. get yourself some good quality superglue for the edge where the material folds over. i didnt have any so i used the same spray glue which i used for the front part...it was messy!

You will be supprised how easy it is, good luck!

[liquid_force]

 

[cosmicremedy]

Excellent work

 

[guise]

Looks smart that mate.
Good effort.

I was thinking of doing the glove boxe door but not sure how easy it is to take apart/reassemble.
Also what colour code is the right one for the RS interiors? (Ive seen some called 'Griz' on ebay wich looked about right..)

 

[ChrisC19]

that looks really smart. where did you guys get your alacantra from?

 

[Rys]

I got mine from here:

[JR]

Very impressive. Good work.

 

[calum001]
