Doorcards question

Post by red6n2 »

Right bloke sent pics of the door cards and here they are...

Rears look mint

Small knick in bottom of drivers side apparently unnoticeable as its so low down, bit il know its there !

Where they look a bit worn or faded can that be bought back to life ?!. Or once their faded is it a case of things will only get worse?. Maybe steaming them will bring the red up and revive them again, Also I know as there all going to be like 12 years old now I'm not going to get absolutely mint ones so dunno if I should hold out or get these ?!. What do people think ?.

I chopped in my red ones for some TDI SE ones.
Same cards but they were black instead of red.

The red always looks grubby and I just don't like it.

My currents are black and not red, I just want the red to go with my interior theme just wondered if people thought they looked too bad of if the colour/state can be revived :-/ two minds the bloke wants £40 for em I'd pay £30 but for £40 I'd want them MINT.

If you clean anything you can bring the colour back.

What about masking/flocking your current ones ?

I've done that on the Polo of flock and they look tasty.

That nick out of the bottom of one of them would put me off.
