Door Upholstery
Hey all!
I'm considering some ideas in regards to both my own and the lady's FTOs upholstery...
I would like to attempt to upholster some of the door skin components in different materials, but I've NOT done this before... Always worth a try, right?
Does anybody on here have much experience in terms of upholstery, and what tips can you offer?
Of course I'll be conducting my first run on the black FTO!

Thanks man, - I've noticed that the only people who have a chance of liking it are all Gen Y.Daniel2019 wrote: I actually kinda like it
Had several positive and negative comments about it. It's definitely a conversation starter because most people haven't seen or heard of it before!

Re: Door Upholstery
Not ALL Gen Y meanwhile.
Meanwhile, there are some good videos on youtube on how to do interior stuff.
I have only done a gearshifter in Suede.
Turned out ok for a first attempt, but yeah, video tuts are good!
