Hey all,

Well i just bought a mini, and im cleaning up the interior to get it regoed soon, and i was just wondering if anyone here has actually made wooden door cards and estopoled them?? if so how hard was it, how did it turn out?? any pictures would be greatly appreicated. The plan is to go a wooden dash, wooden gear knob and wooden door cards, with the black (darkish) carpet that is already in there.

Thanks

i think the best look for a wood trimmed car is not actual wooden door cards (leave those cloth) but wooden arm rest tops on the door bins (still leaving a bit of a gap to put stuff in). Plus you need some flex in whatever goes into the doors for fitting.
