Had some alcantara done

[Bodyboarder81]

Hi all , just thought i would put up some pics of my zed which ive just had some bits covered in alcantara .... going to get the rest of the center console done so it all flows through the car . Was a bit annoyed he covered the silver metal around the gear gaitor and rings on the 3 dials but ill sort that out when i can . Hope you like it !

Looks great especially the 350Z UK forum logo.

 

Are you going to share who did the work though in case anyone else wants to get it done?

Wow

[tatooandy67]

Very nice, where did you have it done

[Paddy78]

Loving that and the frost leather is

I've used a chap for years round my way .... He's name is vin and his work is amazing quality .... But you pay for it . 50 hours went into all that, as he said its so fiddly . Take a look at "other cars" as there are some more pics of his work there .

Looks great, much better than the plastics. Nice touch.

Nice!! I often consider the centre consol from beneath the gearstick back and behind the seats....although it sounds expensive. Good work

50 hours?! Presumably on minimum wage??

Wow that looks lovely, miss my alcantara in my FN2

Hmmm, love the idea of slapping some alcantara on there, however, I think you did the wrong parts

 

I think the steering wheel should have been done and left the airbag alone and also think the centre console should have been left and the rest of the dash done instead. Not a fan of hiding the silver strut cover either, sorry mate.

No worries mate , everyone likes different things having the bits I've covered is easily reversible , so when the time comes to sell ( hopefully never ! ) I can sell it all and return to standard and offset some of the cost ..... Oh and I love it !

 

With regards the air bag ..... It's all been rip stitched so air bag will still deploy as intended .... This was not a bodge job

Well you loving it is all that matters For the record, though, I wasn't even thinking of the operation of the airbag, just think it would look better the other way round
