Plaid with armrest
« on: September 14, 2013, 03:32:23 pm »
After seeing a custom armrest I wanted one  :party: so kept an eye out for some interlagos material, having acquired some I sourced a local upholster him and set to task!

Really chuffed with the result, although not sure it's for everyone  :evilgrin:.

Got the material from a unusable drivers sea and had a bad boulster so was able to salvage the intlagos  :grin:

Here's a couple more photos from different angles:

Looks like it came out of the factory like that. What was the fitting cost if you don't mind me asking?

I took the part I the armrest out of the car, surprisingly easy! Just removing 'under tray' and release the top part that only clips in. I then sourced a local upholster, who works on retrimming car and left him to it! He charged me a very reasonable £20 and then just clipped back on...

I was hoping to have some material left over, but had to use the center to get the red lines central, and now he is currently playing with making a gaiter, which isn't any fun on a dsg.... I still got resources of more material as have still got the passenger seat that I may strip but yet undecided  :laugh:
