Ok i'll say this, Job very well done, the material looks fantastic. Overall it looks good, but i dont like it because i dont like the colour. Other than the colour, job well done :thumbsup:.

The Purple matches the purple pearl in the paint and It's the colour the Misses Liked so It is Growing on me... Very different when you look in the rear view mirror and see Purple....
Was unsure if i was going to do the bottom of the door but I might....and yes i did the job myself and belive me the rear shelf was a ***** to do......

Hey bro what time period did it take you as my 97TF the foam is beginning to de-teriorate from living in Townsville for four years. And where did you source the trim. I was thinking of clark rubber for the foam but not sure about the trim1

I have a Auto Trimmer next door at work so i Brought it through him... Any good auto trimmer should sell it to you just have to ask.... The good thing about this type of trim is that it had a foam backing ( about 3-4mm thick )
And all up i say it took about 2 days to do, good thing about the magna's door trims is that once you get it off the trim section's both top and bottom unscrew

The longest bit was the clean up of the trim piece's as with most by now the foam has failed which leaves the material loose so it comes off easy but the backing material that was used to glue to the plastic remains, which takes time to get off

Yeah a walk through would be great... Some info on what type of glue and stuff would be good to!

Well, I think the workmanship looks great but the colour doesn't suit anything else.

I cant vouch for the parcel shelf, but the door trims are easy as piss to do yourself! Its just time consuming. But actually getting the trim cards off takes like 5 minutes.
The gluing, cutting, and especially trying to be neat around the corner, is where it becomes a pain!

Looks good mate!:) I did a retrim not long ago but never thought of doing the parcel shelf!
*cough.....fluff..*cough
hehe, 10/10 for workmanship mate! Looks good, but yeah, not sure on colour :P
I didn't glue my trims in....i got a needle and thread and sewed them on. I figured if i ever want to sell the car, I can just rip out the stitching.
Was unsure if i was going to do the bottom of the door but I might....and yes i did the job myself and belive me the rear shelf was a ***** to do......
Yea,I belive you mate.I am an ex trimmer.
Well done:thumbsup: :clap:
