Where qould one find such items?

I've been greatly dissapointed with most of the interior mods I have found. Most sites have like rings in chrome for the gagues, new seatcovers, and a maplight.

The better ones had rugs, floormats, and armrests.

As well does anyone have a good pic of a burlwood dash kit for the mini?

 

Any of you late nighters can help me here?

Here is the thread this is asking about.

 

In the thread you reference, he simply deconstructed the doors and then applied a piece of velvet to the inside with spray on glue. I assume he got the velvet fabric at a local fabric store.

Yep, I went to an auto upholstery store and picked a type of cloth used for interior upholstery, that I liked. They have many different strengths, thicknesses, textures and colors. I ordered two yards so I would have some spare material and could use it for other places. Then I cut a paper tempplate to figure out the right size and cuts. Since the door panel is dedeply dished in the pocket area, I had to cut the cloth to the right shape. Then I used the spray adhesive. This is actually quite tricky, because the spray adhesive (headliner adhesive) is a contact glue, meaning you need to spray both sides and let them dry for 4-8 minutes, and then apply the cloth, and it instantly bonds and you cannot reposition the material. Try it on some other contoured piece of non-car plastic first to become familiar with how to do it.
At the auto upholstery place you can also get leather or vinyl.

Cheers,

Will this do?.....

 

Now that's damn SEXY.

I'm really torn on that or not.

I'll need to wait and see if I think it will go well with my chrome/black theme.

Damn that looks sweet.
