So, part of the reason I didn't bother getting the interior panels of my R56 in something other than checkered silver is because I was thinking that the door panel pieces would come off, and subsequently I could sand and paint them the color of my choice. Well... they don't. So I'm wondering... has anyone done a vinyl wrap or anything for the door panels, or am I just stuck where I am?

PS - Yes, I know I can get a pro paint shop to paint it. I'm specifically asking about vinyl. Thanks in advance!

 

I thought the same when I ordered mine and ran into the same problem. I have been looking into a kit form this place http://www.wooddashexperts.com/2009-...ain-dash-kits/ but I have not pulled the trigger. I am hoping to find someone who has them to get some feed back. I don't think that it is actual vinyl but I think it could be easier to install and would look better.

 

Yeah, I've looked there. The pictures they have of the R53's are horrendous. And they have no pics of the R56 kits installed. I guess if worst comes to worse, then I could always just attempt a vinyl install myself.

 

what about the products from this site:
http://www.minimotoringgraphics.com/

-look inside there site, I found graphics for the interior panels.

 

if your talking about the parts that are on the door panel i believe Lyle from Vinyl Styles (yet again) pulled thru on this for Celia (wetceal) and wrapped them in Carbon Fibre. as i understand it, it was A LOT of work to get those peices off the door panels but the final product is well worth the work IMHO.

 

^^ This. Lyle does great work. www.lylesvinylstyles.net

 

Wow, thanks for the responses!

I had checked Vinyl Styles before and didn't see anything for the door panels (which is the main concern), but I'll check again here in a minute.

I've never heard of Motoring Graphics before, but it looks to be the same problem. You can do the dash, but not the door panels. Could be wrong, but I'll do some more searching!

Thanks again folks!

 

Try e-mailing Lyle regarding it. i believe he is trying to plan a trip out here sometime around the Dragon (april-mayish) so maybe you guys can work something out. vinylstyles@gmail.com

 

Oh I misread what you meant, I thought you were talking the dash. As far as I know, the trim on the doors can't be removed to be wrapped, so someone would have to do it in person for you. Maybe check around your area for a local sign shop.

Otherwise, you could try buying some vinyl yourself and learning how to wrap it.

 

Thanks, guys (and/or gals).

I'll check with Lyle. Is he coming to MOTD?

 

If I can't work it out with Lyle, I guess I'll have to that. Looks like the only other option.

 

hopefully, cause if he goes, that means i go too

 

whew, be careful! some of the photos on the offered websites are ugly!

 

he's going.

 

Lyle is going to the Dragon?! NICE!

 

Lyle did headlight, gas cap and grill wrap in white and did the beltline in Black at AMVIV. He did some great work and is a great guy.

 

PICS!!!

 

Well, I'll have to talk to him while I'm there. Thanks for the info guys!

 

Let me know what he says. If you're near me (moving from VA to SC sometime this year), I might be able to help some, but I'm just an amateur. Lyle is definitely the one to talk to.

 

Amateur my @$$! You'll be a pro by the time you're done with your car!!
