Hi guys,
I did plan on starting my re-trim this weekend, but due to the crappy weather decided to postpone til next. I figured today could just go into some planning.
The plan is to do a full re-trim in a cream leather/ vinyl, possibly with suede inserts.
I'd like to have downlights in the roof, similar to what some of you have here. So i just had a couple of questions before i go ahead and begin.
Does anyone know how much material i'm giong to need to a full retrim (except for the seats, postponing those as i'm looking to buy different front seats, and customising the rears myself)
Also, once the parts have been re-trimmed, they are going to be slighty thicker, and therefore harder to put back in. Is it recommended to sand them back a fair bit, or shave some off? Or do they fit with a bit of force?
Also, where can i get some of the downlights you guys used? I understand some of those can put out a lot of heat, and i was lead to believe that a few different types that are installed in houses carry a fire warning. So i'm keen to get the correct type so i don't do any damage. Also, on the lights, do they just require a 12v source? Or does it get a little more complicated?
Any help is appreciated guys, also any tips when it comes to the re-trim would be greatly appreciated.
