Where you can get hold of the hot pink tape from? Was wondering how lol!
I'm getting it off a chap from over on 106owners who does the stickers etc.
He is doing me a special run as they don't stock the hot pink colour in stock.
Drop me a BB message and I'll send you over his email address and let him know that I told you about him and he'll help you out.
#272: Re: Uz's SWGT No.1 of 1...updates =] Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Tue May 04, 2010 1:57 pm ---- I've had an idea and found that I've got about a metres worth of suede left over from the roof and door pillars so I'm gunna have a go at doing the centre console.
There will be joins in the upper bit as my mom can't double stitch on her sewing machine. Most probably as I do the oval mouth area but hopefully it won't show to bad...if possible i'll try and keep it down to only one join.
The bottom section will also have joins in but they will be around where the cd player sits as I will be want to take the suede all the way down the sides.
Let me know what you think...its worth a try to see what it looks like and the materials sitting around in the house doing nothing.

Thanks mate
Hopefully I'll be able to do the centre console tomorrow to the same quality...got material pre cut to the sizes just a matter of gluing and cutting to size.
I'm doing these ones myself this time without the help of my dad so see how they come out
#277: Re: Uz's SWGT No.1 of 1...updates =] Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Wed May 05, 2010 8:14 am ---- 1 Suede Wrapped centre console...not the best off finished around where the CD players sits but no-ones going to see that once the CD players fitted
Fitted in the car;
A set of 4 door handle surrounds wrapped in suede;
Fitted;
Still got to do the surround for the MFD (Multi Function Display) which I've already horribly messed up once and wasted a small amount of suede on Ah well you don't get anywhere without trying and it really is a hard thing to do without actually stitching it.

Evo Stick Contact Adhesive (Spray Can) is what I've used and no none of my door cards have peeled since completing them.
They've been in the car ever since and even in the chances to the temp there's been no problems with them.

Dan (Vanman) did say it to me but in my opinion Flock is more for the track cars and not the route I'm going for.
