Default trimming

For all your trimming needs visit www.mitch_lx_trimmings.com ;)

As i posted in the older less cool fiesta forum i trimmed my interior grab handle things in leather.
U can pick up an off cut very cheaply and even an amateur like myself can do a pro looking job!

Yeah I'd be interested to see, I'm looking at trimming some interior pieces myself.

Pictures are good, I'm trying to work out where you mean you trimmed. Are these part of the door, or the handles on the roof?

Default trimming



Thats what i trimmed.. i took off the cover and took out the whole handle (comes out when you undo the two star shaped screw things!! :P)
trimmed up the handle. there was some overhanging leather so i glued that down at the edges to make the entire thing look smooth.. its really hard to explain but in about an hour a mate is comming over and he is gona take pics of it so ill have pics up by tonight hopefully.

It looks good, subtle and fits in with the cars interior! Congratulations!

Always good to see a nice clean car - my poor Focus is dying for a good detailing.
