rickybeau Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Hi folks i have bought rover 400 door cards because mine are sagging and the back one is damaged, i like the rover ones better, because they have the trim all around the interior, and i like the look of it, just might wrap the trim but not sure in what color/effect would suit best on the long run. Now i wanted opinions on what color/type of fabric will suit best for my door cards, later ill be doing the headliner too but for now its just the doors.pics would be awesome Also opinion in which wrap should be used for the trim, if anybody has some custom interior i would love to see pictures. Mb6 has carbon inserts, anyone can show me how it is the look? i wonder if it will make the car fill too dark inside with the carbon...i got this new projects but i really need second opinions cause they will be somewhat permanent changes. be safe, peace out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 If I can find a pic I'll post for you because I did the same thing on my first ever mb. Fitted rover door cards and wrapped them. Bare with 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 This is my current interior. Leathers and door cards from a 1.6. The headliner had sagged so relined it with alcantara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamrin Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hey! I was in the same boat as you. Ended up wrapping the trim pieces Chameleon blue/purple, and painting the leather and plastic matte black (with BLACK graffiti paint). I used the wrong paint, so the plastic got sticky. Redid it with different paint (this time black gloss), and it' s great now. Still looking to do them over again with black matte. I also recovered the headliner with some aliexpress foam-backed black cloth. 30 for the material, 80 in glue. Awful experience, but a great result if you take your time. I didn't, and accidentally soaked the foam in glue in some places, while leaving other pieces unglued accidentally. I'll start posting more pictures when the car is further back together. It's currently in a project-state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamrin Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Those metal clips are quite the bother. I broke most of them off, and just glued the strip back in afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
