Interior/Exterior Complete interior make-over
#32
need your idea's on this one.
ok so when i get my wall back in, the back will be completely sealed from the front of the interior. meaning i open the hatch, and i see the back of the wall (will be covered of course)
so far, ive got the headliner and C pillars back there in suede. i was gonna cover the side panels (on each side of the rear seats) in black vinyl, but im thinking, should i do suede?
basically the area in green would be vinyl, and the headliner, c pillars, side trim, and the bottom trim piece right above the bumper, would be black suede.
now, those side panels...the front of it (what will be seen from the front seats) is already covered in vinyl. so yes, one panel will be covered in 2 different materials, but you wont be able to see, becuase the wall will be in the middle of the panel. all you see is the front of the panel, and the back of the panel (like i said, front is already vinyl, back im thinking of doing suede)
does that make any sense? lol.
blue, red, and purple areas will be black suede, the green area (the rear trim panel for my wall) will be vinyl (the amps will also be mounted to this rear panel)

Pricey but it truly is the best stuff out there.

What exactly are the advantages of Alcantara over more standard run of the mill Suede? I'd like to do a few things to my car in Suede (and maybe eventually the headliner). Also, how difficult is sewing your own suede interior pieces? Is there a special technique or machine needed or can you use a standard sewing machine with a heavier needle?

@ pimp NO BUBBLES
And If you want to do everything, make sure you do the side pannels too... Looks prob great!! I don't like vinyl on the rear panels so I'dd do alcantara/suede
@chris.. Thanks mate... Is looking very cool but I don't want to do TOO much.. first this and then we look further
My door panel is white/grey indeed... It is factory but I don't want it anymore.. I want the black ones..... interested??? :cheers:

didnt know they come in white, especially when your dash is the charcoal color. they look nice though, if my car was white i'd want them, but im fiberglassing mine anyways, gonna change the whole shape of the door panel

work with me here Jon.....look at the pics of the way the suede was trimmed on the back to pull the corners tight and then look at the 'wall' pimped is making and ask yourself if the same human could have done both
