cheers BT thats exactly what i was after how did you do yours just cut it with a saw i guess ???

[Lee]

Little draper multi disc cutter. Worked a treat.

Bear in mind youll need a friend holding a vacuum cleaner. The fumes that come off it are evil lol

[Dan 130]

pmsl i was thinking tidying it all up with fiberglass once cut did you just leave yours

[Lee]

I found an offcut and wedged it down the side lol. It doesnt have to be pretty. I rekon FG is a good option to tidy it up.

I also used a length of ally to secure the floppyness.

yeah thats cool i think i will do it really like the minimal look lolits not going to be a total track car so i will try and tidy it up to look nice cheers BT top man

[Lee]

NP. If i get really poncy i may FG up the end and flock it, but thats way down the list at the mo lol

[Dan 130]

yeah i really like the flock look think i will look into it, but like you say way down the line lol

busy doing mine at the mo cutting dash in half i dont think it will be floppy if u leave the heater matrix in also thinking of flockin but is it hard to keep clean or even clean it

[Dan 130]

i dont think you would have to clean it i guess you could hoover it because its like felt i think

[philthepill_389]

thats what i was thinkin dose it stay clean etc etc weres joff haha

[Dan 130]

lol i guess it could fade a bit but not to sure

[Jon_nova1]

wouldn't black sub carpet work the same?

[Dan 130]

yeah i guess dont see why not

[Jon_nova1]

lol i was asking because im interested in doing my dashboard and want advice, i was going to use black sub carpet, but after reading people say they flock thiers im after opinions, i wasn't making a suggestion lol

[Dan 130]

well personally i think it would be quite hard to use sub carpet i think it would be really hard to get it looking right

[Jon_nova1]

I know it'd be hard to get it into shape, but i retrimmed my doorcards in it :D

[Dan 130]

i would say its up to you , you want get the exact same look as a proper but hey it might turn out alright

[Jon_nova1]

lol true, but it might look completely gay and someone already knows, doles anyone know where you can get flock from on the internet anyway? i've looked and cant find any in black?

[Dan 130]

i havnt looked into where i can get it ask joff
