Door Panels: Part 2

cheades · 12-30-2004, 03:14 PM

Here are the door panels finished and installed. I went with the grab handles for door handles but I am on the lookout for some thing better looking. I think I am going to redo my other set and try to make a grey insert that matches the seats, anyways let me know your thoughts.

Also the reason they look uneven in some spots is the way the handles pulled on the material, they have some fluff stuff underneath the vynil that I am going to leave out on the next set.

I love it, original and simple.

RCWells · 12-30-2004, 07:12 PM

I probably missed this somewhere along the way, but where did you get the seats? I love em.

Hugo Stiglitz · 12-30-2004, 07:41 PM

This is just my opinion, so don't take it the wrong way, but I think that looks horrible.

I'd kill for your seats, though.

Schniddy · 12-30-2004, 07:48 PM

can we see more pictures of the full interior?

That looks like shit and those seats need to go back into a GTI.

Jordan · 12-30-2004, 10:36 PM

So looks like I'm alone when I say...

Look like teh shitter.

I don't really see how its original. He is not the first person to strech a piece of vinyl over a door panel... his just look bad. The other ones come out good so you don't really notice and have to call it original.

so wait... you have tan carpet, grey seats, and black shitty looking door panels, sweet interior. honestly, until you have a black (grey) carpet, stick with tan door panels, and find a better way of doing the handles, those are horrible, go the to junkyard and find something off another car to use or something, looks like you took the handles off of your suitcase set.

I know they didn't turn out that great but now I have a much better idea of how to do them. Having the soft stuff below the vinyl is what really hurt them, oh well learning and vinyl is cheap. I plan on getting for a black carpet soon, just haven't really had the time to look. If you guys think of any other door pulls let me know, I am looking for something better.

I'm not a fan, but good effort.

If you like them, that's what counts.

nando · 12-31-2004, 09:57 AM

the real question is, are they going to make you any faster this year in autox!

(that is, if the CSCC finds us a new location

)

I must have missed something, but why change them in the first place?
