Kevlar/Carbon/Cardboard ( )/Aluminium er dunno really!  Carbon sheeting would look lurvely!

ooh yeah carbon fibre.
i had already thought of that one but then thought, how much? from where? when to stop?(would like a carbon fibre dash if had door cards).
do all smiles do them? any body got any info?

Aluminium was also an option. polished or anodised?
acrylic was another option. would use black with a nice gloss finish.

I need some thing easy to work with but give me the right look.
basicly i just cant make me mind up

Ive been wondering the same, Because my interior is stripped and its a 5 door, i need somthing to cover the doors with, Ive thaught about cutting my own but cant decide what to use

If your going rally slag look then most rally cars use plastic covered parts with anti glare - Matt sprayed on.

Gives it a suede kinda look.

I'd go for the Carbon sheets.  Shouldn't be loads really, well worth the money too as the look you'll get will be lush!

hay fielder i take it from your sig pic that you have took the stripped out theme a bit too seriously (doh.....sorry could not resist.)

has any body got the all smiles web address or some thing as the carbon route is really taking my fancy?

i found a good one on the net earlier, A lot of boyracers have that inductrial footplate type metal for foot plates on there car, However its not acctually metal that they use, Its a rubber sheet with the footplate sorta shape pressed onto it, Ive been thinking about getting some, shaping it, then painting it with plastic primer and painting it black, Provided i dont flex it after painting, i dont see any reasion for the paint to peel, and with it painted black and covering my back two doors, it should give a pritty good rally slag look, I would use the metal but i dont have any resorces to cut, shape and fit the material in place :S
