    How would i go about wrapping fabric around the door interior? Do the panels just pop off or is it a little harder than that?

    I done mine in Black Leather. Theres a guide if you search for it. Search 'Retrim interior' or 'retrim door' etc

    Basically pop the door card off, cut the plastic weld rivit things off, then the material panal is free. Tear the material off leaving the foamy shit on the door pannal.

    Get your new material lay it out on the floor and put the old one on top of it and draw then cut around it (obv making sure its bigger than needed)

    Then, get some spray glue £7 from dunelm, spray both the panal and the back of the fabric and line it up on the door card, pushin from the inside outwards. Leave it for a few hour as the glue works very quick.

    Replace the door card back in, either use self tapper and washer on the old rivit points, or re plastic weld the doorcard back on.

    Trickiest bit is refitting the pull handle surround. As theres no great force on that and is purley for look, i find velcro pad on a thick peice of carbourd does the job.

    Hope this help.
