Speedo ring

[maggi200]

Haha

I have a cup spoiler, black badges, sprayed rings and I'm looking to change bits to alcantara

Your car is the non rs version of mine as I wanted the 182 wheels for winter like yours! :lol: I like it!

I'll have a look and see if anyone local might be able to help

Haha not seen many pics of yours on here!

Ever though about just buying different seats already in suede?

I got quoted £1200 to do mine in leather/alcantara split.. And that was the rubbish standard seats!

I got the rx8 seats for £200 and they are a light grey suede with dark grey suede

I've considered it. But I'm after OEM+ and not aftermarket really.

And I'll whack some fresh pics up soon then

Good good!!

Dunelm mill sell nu suede material in sizes that seem reasonable and well priced. So I'm off there tomorrow for a look.

What kind of glue is required to glue it to the headlining? And what about the plastic for say a pillars?

Goodjob you said, thats the same place i got my first one from, its not stretchy at all, and youll never get in on the roof linning flush!

You need a contact adhesive thats high temp, cause it gets hot in the car some days and it just soffens up again and lets go!

If your still going check out how much stretch it has, cause i could stretch the one i got off ebay into the holder behind the rev counter with no creases!

Ahh I only thought of it after a google search for discussion results showed others used it. Perhaps stock differs between stores or has changed.

You got a link to what you used?

And details of exactly what it was? Thickness etc?

I've just thought, I'll wrap the bits I want in it, work on stitching a speedo cover tonight etc and then plastidip the clips in the roof.

theres loads on ebay, ill have a look..
The one from dunelm was good quality and a good black colour, but it was like cotton on the other side so didnt have any stretch to get around the shapes at the front

The stuff i got was on mega thin? not sure what you mean, just basic material i think

I didnt think of plastidiping the clips! genius, i didnt want to paint them incase they didnt look right so i left mine the creamy colour

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

this is the exact one i bought

That gave me more than enough to do my roof linning and loads of other bits!

Tiz good stuff, but like i said in the right/wrong light it doesnt look pitch black!

Thats the glue i got, i bought 2 just incase, but i only went into the second one a little bit

Ill get some pics of my roof now with that stuff
