Title: Door Cards...Hmmm
Post by: Fielder5757 on 04 October 2005, 11:44

Quick question that hopfully most people will understand. Everything inside my car is black, Black dash, black steering wheel, Black seats and hopfully soon i will have black carpet. However the door cards are currentally letting the car down because, unlike everything else, there grey, Not just any old grey, the horrid 1980's style grey with dirt patches.

Finding black GTI door cards for 4doors seems impossible so im wondering what my options are, Blue said you can buy fabric spray paint but i dnno how this would come out, Is it hard to re-trim a door card? If not how do you go about it and what materials do you need?

Thanks in advance folks  :smiley:

apparently the spray works, but otherwise its not easy to trim door cards due to the stupid curves etc. so you'd need what ever material, a sewing machine, good glue, possibly foam, etc

funnily enough i know a bloke who has these/can get these things....know what i'm saying?
