Don't you think that a DVD player with a XXX DVD might be better?

hah... actually, I knew a guy that crashed his car because he was preoccupied with his... wood.

Well, this vinyl was a drunken bay purchase to do something else. Ive seen carbon effect vinyl before that was very glossy and had little square printed on. not great. This stuff is a sort of vinyl matt, and the effect if pressed into it so it actually has a texture, a lil like the original stuff.
Anyhows, it was piss cheap for hong kong see here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWNX%3AIT

£3 and free postage. Only problem is at that size (remember i had no intention of doing this with it!) is that the front ridiculously long doors need two pieces joined to cover them. Although id challenge anybody to find the join.

A quick sketch out of basis sizes and shape and ive plenty left over. Quick warm up with hairdryer makes it go straight and soft. Apply along trim and a little heat makes it super soft so u can push it into corners etc. i use a DS stylus. Trim off excess with scapel, a lil heat to tidy edges and voila!

£3 and 60min work, decent result!

if anybody really wants a photo tutorial ill do another set??

Not really that much of a ahurry tbh. Was just an upgrade I keep thinking about. Pics would be good. Thanks

Anyone tried this stuff on outer B anc C pilar covers?

[Christophski]

I have tis done to my pillars. Big Lee M did them for me. Look the dogs.... I just have to put them on now. I would love to have them on already but the rear ones are pop riveted on and havent built up the courage to attack my car with a drill. I then need to figure out how to fasten them back on once the old ones are off

[als2]

No probs christophski, and zoig, i think it would be dead simple to do pillars in this. Might have a go! lol

[Big Lee M]

Only thing is the cheap stuff won't be UV protected so may fade or discolour. The stuff I use doesn't.

[als2]

says it is but u never know...........................

[M_GORDON]
