Covering dash and door trims in fabric!

JT-130-hcpu · Sep 22, 2019

I'm sure this has been covered but couldn't find it by searching.

I'm thinking of covering my 300tdi dash and door cards in a fake leather viynal material to revamp them from the tierd state they are in.

Should be much cheaper (some thin fabric and spray) than all new parts !

Whose done it, any lessons and of course pics please !!!!!

Look for tolex, guitar amps are covered in it, very hard wearing stuff, comes in all colours and textures.

Thank you, I will have a good look for it

I have used head lining material which has a foam backer for the dash and it makes it look soo much better (in my opinion). I have also recovered the head lining and rear window surround in the same material. For the door trims and sun visors I used back to black to dye them so I now have all matching.

Mine was all done when I got it. It looked great but the door cards stank from getting damp all the time

I'm going to try think up a good solution to protect the door cards when I get new ones!!! Theres so much water in the internals and the plastic splash guard is as waterproof as that sock you keep by your bed !!!
