Evo VI – Homemade Coilover Covers

(First posted on MLR forum in September 2013)

It’s been a while, I’ve been busy getting married and house hunting but I’ve still found time to play with the Evo

I’ve done various things and I’ll slowly catch up with pictures just in case anyone’s interested but mainly it’s a nice diary for myself and for any buyers when the day comes to sell

Anyhow, I wanted some coilover covers and looking at what was available I thought they didn’t look that complicated. So I bought some vinyl and velcro, had a quick lesson on how to pilot my stepmums sewing machine and got started. I think I can safely say I’ve mastered machine sewing now I offered to make my missus’ wedding dress but she wasn’t so sure about the little red vinyl and velcro number I penned.

masking tape was the best thing for holding the fold in place as i could stitch right through it then peel it off after.

Quite pleased with them and especially pleased that they cost me less than a tenner for materials and a just a couple of hours to make.
