Door cards part II

Carpet arrived around 10am - exactly as described.

Looks good

I went straight out to the garage to set about re-trimming the doors.

Door card removal is a complete swine, will be replacing holding nuts with M8 Wingnuts.....

Here is a shot of them half way through - the top part is a cut piece of carpet ready for gluing, the bottom is the door card it's going onto.


Will upload some images when I've got them back into the car.

Door cards part I

Decided today that I don't like the magnolia leather door cards and prefer the carpeted type that I had on my previous Chimaera.

So I have ordered some Blenheim midnight blue Nylon backed carpet from Coverdale Carpets.
I ordered 1.5mx1m which should be enough to do both door cards and leave some spare if I screw it up.

I popped down to B&Q and bought some evostick spray impact adhesive.

Carpet should arrive tomorrow!
