None the less.. here are the pics, Comments welcome..

That actually looks pretty suave! haha howd u do it?

[A4Quattro > all]

[The Russian]

nice, usually don't like the plaid, but on yours it looks good, good choice of olors

[a4937]

Looks good, I've been contemplating doing the same thing.. but would be doing headliner as well.

[D.C. Designs]

wow looks great I always have loved the plaid look

[a408]

thats fucking badassss!
good work man

[le91688]

looks good man, headliner would be a bit too much imo tho.. dont overdo it.

We need a good write up (WITH PICS) of how to get these trim pieces out!

Agreed!

I've been back an fourth on if I wanna do this or not, and I'm still undecided mainly because there's not a decent write up for this.

sweeet....Hope to see you at waterfest in 09

[turbo kraut]

not my cup of tea........

but except for the drivers rear door...... where the corners ar bunched......... looks good


on a side note, was your armrest doing like every other b5 and if so did you just pull the fabric tight or was it still good?

[slideitsidewayz]

very nice. ive seen a few cars with burberry trim pieces and i love it.

Looks great Bro good work!

looks good. you need to strip and re-paint your interior door handles. i have the same color interior and mine looked like that. now they look like this:

I assume you're talking to me about the headliner.. what I have in mind is a lot more subtle.

Looks very good it flows well with the interior

im talkin to whoever... I like the way your car looks now tho!

Im thinkin about attempting this when i get my car somewhere warm.

I heard the easiest way is to pry em out, breaking the tabs, then just glue em back on.

I like the fabric choice it looks pretty good, but honestly you could have done a lot better job of wrapping those tighter, looks like you wrapped them in about 10 seconds... otherwise would look good with that color interior

Yeahhh what kind of paint and color did you use? I redid my passenger side one and it turnedn out good but I was unhappy with the color match so I didn't do the rest but yours looks good.

Also did you use anything special to strip them? I just sanded it forever still didn't work the best but it turned out fine.

I did wrap them tight, it was raining and humid today so it might have something to do with it... i dunno lol.. but the fabric has the stictching thats actually risen seams i guess I could call it.. here is a better pic of it

^ man that looks really good! i re-did my headliner and pillars in plaid took me a while to match up the brown because it's such a weird shade.

i used krylon fusion plastic paint. i bought two colors to test them and i think i used "pebble". i did it a while back. i took the door panels apart and used steel wool and acetone to remove the old paint. then i washed them with soap and water. let them dry in the sun for a little bit and sprayed them. its pretty easy.

[discontained]

cool ill try it tomorrow, if not ill just cover them in rhino liner haha

[slopoke]

meh not my thing... But looks like you do great work

Thanks man I'll have to give that way a try when it gets a bit warmer out

[biketsai]

We have the same interior scheme!
I would really dislike taking apart that dash, im gonna do it sooner or later.

[therox182]

me likey. if only i had the motivation to try something like this

[honzinator]

i really wana do something like this...any ideas on what would match with grey?

[erode]

I challenge you to ... wrap it in a fabric displaying tiled Barbies or CareBears or something equally nutty.

I was thinking skulls, airplanes, buzz lightyear and hello Kitty

I like the color choice for your interior. I'm not usually a plaid person, but the OEM interiors with tan is a bit too drab for me. You did a good job spicing it up.

Oh word ok my bad, yea that does look nice and tight and i like the fabric choice with that interior so props to you my man

[bastosmafka]

how do you take apart the armrest? like the door part with the fabric i wanted to pull mine apart and put the red suede over it but i was too scared of breaking the damn thing.

[the_pirate]

no write up just do what i said in my post on the first page. its pretty easy.
