Hi, I want to make some new door cards and cover them, with either Vinyl or something similar to speaker box carpet, what have people found to work best for them?

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

I'll add onto that: it may be an idea to try and use mdf or ply thats has a coating of something to stop it absorbing any moisture in the door and going soggy, if you can't buy it that way there will be something in a spray can.

I used mdf to make all new panels front & back, i also covered them in velour material they have been on the car for six years now & still look brand new.

Damn nice mini Steve....... i will be doing my doorcards myself aswell , using vinyl and going to check out clarke rubber/spotlight for some thin foam padding and some glue , making a template with the current doorcards and using Mdf/That old stuff used on back of wardrobes " cant remeber the name " .

Bought a little jigsaw to hopefully cut out the handle holes etc , good fun little project me thinks.

thanks gents,

was going to use masonite, I think that has a coating on one side and quite rough the other so the glue for the vinyl sticks to it.

Corflute works well too - the stuff a lot of real estates use for heir small signs these days.

It's a corugated PVC



Most sign places should sell it. I get it in Maitland from EB signs.

Just wait till election time and all the major political parties will give you as much as you want.

true dat

Though it will have some ugly dudes mug on it

Places that make computërised signs should be able to get "coreflute " for you .

What do estate agents do with the signs once a property is sold?
