Little More Behind The Seat And The Centre Console.
Created on 2008-06-01 06:36:41
The back shelf is a very difficult surface to cover with carpet and one piece has to be removable for battery access. I decided to cover the section just inboard of the wheel arch with a small piece of carpet and then fit the removable cover to the section inside that only.
I cut a template out of stiff paper.....
and used it to cut the carpet pieces for both sides.
Glued them in..
And then moved on to the centre console.
I was going to paint this body colour, but I had a thought, that being inside and vertical, maybe it should be grey.
The grey vinyl I bought is pretty stretchy so I was fairly confident I could get it stuck on without too much difficulty.
Well it was difficult and I've got a few wrinkles, but It may be ok.
I'll sit on it for a while and see if I'm still ok with it in a few days.
