Custom laser cut alcantara trims
Thought I'd share some custom alcantara work I've been doing lately on F3x and E90 trims

Thanks! I use an aggressive high temp contact adhesive (don't bother with sprays or carpet sprays, they web up in clumps and show behind thin material). Once it's all laid down but not fully cured I pull each section tort before hot welding the fabric to the trim on the back - alcantara contains plastic so it makes this part easier and keeps everything in place.

Yeah I make them, mainly based on your current trim though which I know can be tricky for people outside of the UK, however I can also buy in a spare trim for you if prefer or even send you the fabric finished; just not stuck down.
I have a complete set of instructions on how to take apart your trims, adhere the fabric and reconstruct if people decide to go down that route.

My solution was to find a seamstress / upholstery repair shop that I could give £30 to run a couple of lines of stitching for me
