I did this on my B3 audi 90. different shape fabric compared to RS2. But I used a steam cleaner with a nylon brush to clean the old glue from the door card. Cut the fabric using the old one as template. For installing the tricky parts is the edges. I used an old plastic card to get the fabric pushed inside the groove. Just make sure you get a good glue. I used 3M 08080 because It worked well on the headliner wich has the same foam backing as the jacquard satin fabric. I assume RS2 alcantara has the same foam?1967 fiat 500 future project

I placed the fabric on the doorcard and pushed it into the top groove. On B3 that is on top at the window trim. After that I've folded the fabric over and sprayed it with glue. There is still some time to adjust. But because glue is messy and sticky. Make sure you practice the routing that you feel confident with for placemen without glue once of twice.1967 fiat 500 future project

Finally done with the door card with new alcatara. It wasnt as difficult as I thought, just need the experience. Next time I shouldnt cut the holes for handle & arm rest until its been attached to the door card coz its difficult to allign it precisely. Now I should be able to do the rest of the door cards easier.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I'm using this adhesive, recommended by my mechanic, he said that the usual 3M spray adhesive is not that suitable for hot and humid weather in Hong Kong. You need to apply it on both sides, wait for it to dry up say 80% and stick them together.RS2 >> Ferrari: Performance/look ratio
