zippypooz Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 So, after getting my boot carpeted I decided to turn to the strut brace. (Easy to remove the plastic covers). I chose black to contrast with the anthracite and here’s the results. Once again, my good friend and trusty forum member Nismoandy popped over and worked his magic with his stretchable interior carpet! It’s made a real difference to the interior boot section so really happy with how this turned out!Shame Nissan didn’t do this from the start...but then Andy wouldn’t have earnt himself a few quid! Thanks again mate! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntelopeSam Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 That looks fantastic! Do you know what fabric was used? Ive only took my boot trim apart this afternoon to have a go at wrapping my strut cover! Will be posting a photo of all turns out well! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippypooz Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Thanks mate, I don’t know what it’s called but it’s very stretchy and designed to be pulled and moulded into sharp recesses without creasing and distorting. Maybe message Nismoandy, he did it for me. Well worth it. Good luck with your mission!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethermal Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 4 way stretch carpet, tons on e-bay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedEye Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I like this. mine has a kind of flocked finish which has not aged well and is cracking off. was looking for a simple and clean finish I can do myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMetal Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 looks ace, is it just trimmed perfectly for the gaps? I assume you can't actually wrap it round the panels as their so tight so stretched to the edges and very neatly trimmed. looks great either way is it any quieter? I imagine it must absorb a bit of noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it must absorb a bit of noise Thanks bud, It’s wrapped under the edges...Everything was taken out, all pretty easy to remove. Then glued and refitted. Yup it quietens road noise a little too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippypooz Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 It’s not that thin but still clips back together ok. Didn’t need to shave the panels. It just squashes the carpet so it has a nice tight join. Nothing’s popped open so alls good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Looks great this, seen it in the flesh and its a brilliant job. I have used 4 way stretch on my Datsun and its easy to use and great stuff. Ebay/Amazon not expensive at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
