I was hoping this wouldn't become ridiculously overdone...
 That was my plan. Probably not the shifter surround, but definitely the radio and two vent bezels.

yeah just a lil the part where it dips in to the leather takes some heating and stretching and some strongish glue coz the stuff on the back wont hold it
ive since had to glue some other parts of the radio surround like where it goes into the vents and that |

I have a feeling it might have a tendency for parts which have been highly stretched to shrink in hot conditions

did you use the 3m glue ( sold separately ) I did a few parts as a test for my interior and with the heat the vinyl started to go back to its original shape, so I was told I need the 3m glue to prevent this from happeing, I'm wondering if it'll be the same for the outside of a car.

I found a UK distributor for the 3m stuff a while back was called william smith at the time they had it on an introductory price and would also send you out a free sample (its not very big, about 10cm x 15cm but it would give you an idea of the quality). "Order any length; from 1 metre to a full 50m roll x 1220mm wide, for only £29.99 per metre" http://www.williamsmith.co.uk/index.cfm?fu...&NewsID=200 |
