Alcantara Dash

Posted 17 April 2006 - 10:34 AM

I like that a lot Think I'll have a crack at doing mine, as the one on the passenger side is looking quite tatty. Was going to buy a new panel, but alcantaraing it looks like a good option Don't think I'm brave enough to try the centre console though!

For the door cards i went for the thorney carbon parts, takes a long time to get them, but they look great imo. Then i ordered the window thingies in black from the lotus exige and painted the surroundings from the radio and the other stuff black. Here's an pic of my interior

My CTR is trimmed in alcantara and it holds you really well - feels very posh too

For removal of door cards, do a search under my user name. I posted up a few notes on it about 1 month ago. It is easy when you know where all the screws/clips are located. If you need anymore advise just ask, as I had mines off twice in the one day.

Mine has literaally just turned up at the door!

Bought it from Martrim http://www.martrim.co.uk/offers.htm

Looks and feels ok to me and was a bargain price!

Edit:
Its the charcol grey (not too sure about the Ferrari bit though! )

1m by nearly 1.5m. I bought 2m (so may have some left over!?). Just wondering how i am going to get it home now!? Can anyone recommend an adhesive to use? - it is foam backed.

I went down the local carpet show room and bought a can of their carpet adhesive - worked a treat!

Be careful though - its messy because it comes out like a spiders web!!!

Chris, now you can start to add the essential accessories!

Good idea - it will have to be a black hairdryer though
