I would also appreciate some pictures of the rear doors carpeted. I have replaced the rear door cards with tongue and groove panels because I've mine converted to a mini camper and have been debating carpeting the rest of the door around the window. Having seen yours it's making me think it would be worthwhile espically since I have a few scratches on the paintowrk around the window.

Will get some more photos of how the back doors have been covered as soon as possible.
I also had a lot of scratches around the windows so looks a lot better now in that area.

I took into carpeting one of the back doors last night. It massively improved the look of it now I just need to get the t&g boards back on and do the second door. Only struggle I had was getting a neat cut around the edge of the window.

Awesome, iv just covered the rear panels on the doors and applied a bit of sound deadening in them for now. Where and how did you finish the carpet on the edges of the door? That’s the bit I’m not sure on how to do it

Looks really good, I think I can see what I wanted just helps me decide where to finish my carpet on the door edges.

Cheers

Finally got my 18z brakes fitted…now for the rears. Hard to get a decent photo of the colour but it flips between purple/pink. Pretty happy with them

@rich181

How did you finish the carpet on the sliding door? I’ve done mine but not 100% happy so will be removing and going again when the weather gets better.

Nice van 👍

Well I didn’t do it myself, but it’s been cut so when the door is shut it matches up to the rubber seal, If that’s what you mean, so there’s no metal on show on the inside.
