Alcantara Interior

[lamborgini8]

I saw someone on here a while back that had stuck alcantara in dark grey to most of the panels inside the car. I think it looks awesome so im looking into it myself...

A few questions though... Firstly how can I stick it to the panels? I know parts come off that I can wrap the material around and reattach but what would be the best way to stick it down? Secondly, where's the cheapest place to get it? It comes up on ebay at £15/square meter which isn't really a lot.

flocking is probably the best option and looks better than the alcantara imo. Not cheap though. Think there is a guy on here that does it. He posted prices up a while back.

Basically they prep the surface, apply glue to the areas that require flocking, then spray it with tiny bits of fabric fibres which stick and hey presto.

Liquid force had a few bits done in alcantara. Did them himself.

Also Naith (welsharab) has had his centre console done in alcantara.
