Alcantara Interior DIY
Been thinking about ways to break up Classic Grey interior and decided on Alcantara trim. Over the weekend I did the left door Hifi speaker box and door panel insert.
Alcantara is very nice to work with but can be a bit of a challenge to contour and work out creases around certain non-flat surfaces. Anyhow hope you folks like, i will post pictures of progress and final interior updates when done.

great work, Looks professional and the shade of alcantera is perfect. Match it with some painted wheel centers to set it off. Such a well prepaired little work space. damn I need to get some of that slot wall or peg board.

looks fantastic, post up some smaller photos when you get the parts onto the door and show us the finished product, it'll look even better when its all together.

The work area could use a larger table but it's a cozy little place where I can play my music and spend hours working on small projects like these. Some tools are two and three generations new which is pretty awesome to have some connection to my grandfather and dad while I work. Good stuff, will keep everyone posted.

These projects are FUN! I'm working on my interior too. I'm taking all cashmere pieces and making them black. Some are being dyed, most are being recovered in leather. I like your comment about the 3rd gen tools.

Looks great! I've never been impressed with the vinyl section in the middle of the door panel. Perfect solution.

Great work. I've done some Alcantara projects on other vehicles, but nothing on a Porsche. Great upgrade to go with. Although the material is not exactly cheap.
hmm, think you could wrap the carpeted pieces on the door with leather? might have a project for you

Sample on door
Hi all, finally had time to finish wrapping door panels in Alcantera. He are a couple of photos before I take everything back down. Have to sound proof door and start wiring audio. Hifi speakers box was removed. Leaving stock wires as is. Rennline door handle and 4 piece pedal set coming out and replacing with black. Also have to get shift boot and emergency break wrapped. Hope everyone likes the progress.
