Replacing the internal panels

The original Devon panels were a kind of creamy cross-hatch pattern which we quite liked in a retro kind of way. Unfortunately finding an identical replacement has eluded us so we settled for a creamy textured vinyl.

The panels themselves were sourced from Wickes, they sell Finnish hardboard for about £4, one sheet fitted into our van quite nicely.

Having stripped the old panels of their vinyl, they were used as templates. Here are the new pieces of hardboard with the vinyl stuck to them. They were left for 24 hours allowing the glue to set.
Here is one of the panels having the edge of the vinyl folded over and clamped in place with a strip of wood.
Here the vinylhas been cut in steps so that it will go around the rounded corner of the panel.
With the steps folded over and glued.
How it looks from the front.
The completed panel. I just need to make holes for the
I used these products. The spray carpet adhesive to cover most of the panel and the tradional impact adhesive to touch up the edges and for glueing the folded-over vinyl sections. MAKE SURE YOU WORK IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA WHEN GLUEING !!
I decided to try these Chrome headed trim clips from Custom & Commercial. I will most likely paint the heads with panel coloured enamel.
