Another wrapped interior

[Kerschera4]

I got tired of my fishscale interior, and having a beige interior it seemed bland
like this



so i decided to wrap my interior in Alcantara. Luckily i was able to find some that about perfectly matched the Ming Blue exterior. It is a little darker than it appears in the pictures. Overall I am pretty happy with how it turned out. C & C welcome

Are you the real Santa Claus? Not my cup of tea, but good work with it.

Nice wrapping skills!

Boy am I glad I no-longer have beige interior

[Molotov]

looks very well done, do it yourself?

[sambrody44]

How did you get around that strip in the ash tray? Does it come out?

Pics or ban, maybe I missed the update thread. Everything holding up to normal wear and tear?

All you have to do it just take a heat gun to the glue on the back and it falls right out.

Lets not thread jack, but I will start a new thread when the time is right

yes its molded in, as is the quattro badge on the dash. I used a dremmel and ground down the glue on the back and just popped it out of the holes.

and yes moltov i did it myself. it came out a little nicer than i thought, but it did take a while..2 or 3 of the pieces i did over because i wasn't happy with how they turned out. The alcantara i used was suprisingly forgiving to work with

[kevlarcupid]

Looks like you did a damn good job.

[martini]

yeah props to you.. looks very well done

what did you use to adhere the alcantara to the trim pieces? id like to see the back of one of the parts to see how far around you wrapped them - im surprised you didnt have any issues popping them back in if you have material around the back

[AudiXS4X01]

where did u buy the alcantara at, and how much did it cost you /yard?

[Turbo1A4]

looks good

[xraycer2012]

Very nice. How long did that take you to do?

[7speed]

oohh very nice

[Charlescrs6]

Did the '02s have the perforated seats like that?

[absolutegtr]

/\ All the 1.8ts did.

[Charlescrs6]

followed by another for 3.0 owners.

[forevraudi]

...do i see a DIY write-up in the future

[illaudiill]

theres actually a good amount of room behind all of the pieces but after i trimmed the extra out i left about 1cm around all of the edges. the adhesive made this pretty easy because it was extremly strong. i used 3M foam adhesive from the fabric store that said it was good for auto interiors

[Kerschera4]

i was actually lucky enough to find it at Handcocks Fabric. it was on sale and i got a yard and a half for $9.

xraycer - it took just over a day. i really took my time with it though and like i said i did a couple pieces over just bc i wasnt happy with how they came out.

you really have to be careful with the suede and the adhesive because any little bit you get from your fingers on the suede will stick and leave a mark and you have to start over

[Capt. Obvious]

That looks really good. Great work on the wrapping. One of the best wrapping jobs I've seen so far.

Thank you for not picking some horrendous color.

[moses0324]

i like it!!! loooks 10 times better

[Undisputed]

/\ All the 1.8ts did.

Mine doesn't. Is that because I have a USP? I'd love to have perforated seats.

[jaynyce]

Nice, everything is Tightly Wrapped. You should Wrap my own to Black Suede

[greenturbo]

well done sir

[Michael_J]

That is great. I was thinking about doing the same with a material I haven't picked yet, so your DIY gave me some hope. How does the ashtray look when it is opened? I don't smoke but I am pretty picky so I wouldn't want a passenger to open it up wondering what it was and see some bad edges on the other side. I do like the look of the fabric around the shifter and over the ashtray though.

[Slobo7x]

Let me just say that your workmanship is excellent, it came out great.

I would never do it in that color, but I can respect the work.

[fritzner]

looks much better!!..

[Kerschera4]

i appreciate the good words guys. thanks

i wrapped it so it looks like the suede is factory while opened. i am pretty anal about all of that and none of the edges are noticeable. i can take more pics if youre interested in doing it yourself

[Peoples-2]

Looks really nice. Good job!!

[HoRnYTuRbO]

[Slobo7x]

[shedpress]

[zz2h33]

please post pics, including DIY on how you get all the pieces off/on.

[docurley]

Very nice work.
