Time for a bit of a mini up date.
As you all know I have been playing around with door trim for a while now
lock covers , hinge covers. In the background I have tried to come up with a solution for the rest of the door trim.
First prototype I did in fiberglass it covered everything but I could not come up with a solution for finishing the edges at the top of the door, and it was a bit bumpy lumpy looking
Second try was cutting an aluminum tube in half to cover the intrusion bar, and using the plastic lock and hinge covers
did not like it so added a piece of carpet
still did not like it....
went away thought about it and finally came up with a less is more version
Using a piece of 6mm plastic coreflute I cut it to the door shape.
(that's the real Lex in the back ground, my trusty helper)
back cut the sheet so it would form to the door
I then stuck a 4mm thick high density black foam on to the core flute had to do it in two half's above and below the intrusion bar, wrapped the bottom half with some upholstery leather
Then for the finale..... another piece of leather with the logo laser etched in to it
not too in your face it is actually difficult to see unless you really look for it, I like it and I think this version might just stay.
The intrusion bar will be wrapped in leather after the engineer inspection.
And just because I love looking at it...
Cheers
