Interior pillar colour changeout

[Pawter]

Morning,
I hope everyone’s doing well.
I would like to change out the pillar covers in the T6 from factory grey to black. Do they exist and does anyone know of a supplier?
Maybe VW offered it as an optional extra...

 

[Pauly]

They dont exist im afraid, the only dark coloured pillars are from a caravelle and these are a different size/shape due to different roof lining/flooring

Bugger,
I may attempt some form of BMW style fabric covering then and see how it comes out.

You could always spray them - Eurocarparts sell plastic primer.

Hi, use Plastikote its great stuff sprayed all my plastics with it fab finish.

Has anyone tried covering them with alcantara?

Thinking of doing my headlining and some interior panels with it.

I tried dash trims on a previous car, it wasn’t the easiest thing to hide under the trims because of the thickness of it so I had to knife it flush and hated it. Pillars etc which don’t fit overly snug maybe ok....

Steve@EDGEAutomotive in Rugby does headlinings,pillars etc in alcantara and they look fantastic when done. I was waiting for mine to get done by him before all this virus/lockdown cack

@BognorMotors - That's perfect. What colour is that please? Harrisons do one called Stone but not sure if that's the same...?

Hi iv got some of the Milano samples coming. Have you done the whole van in it? And has it faded a bit?. I was going to redo the metal work in carpet but am tempted to do it in Milano.

That looks great. Do you just stick the The material onto the headliner as it is, or remove the material that’s already on there?
