AIRPLANE COVER HAS THE WINDSCREEN FLIGHT-READY

It is always an enjoyable trip to the aerodrome to measure up and fit covers like these for our clients of the aviation persuasion. This cover was customised to wrap to this Cessna with a snug fit. 

The straps keep the cover firmly in place when parked in the open, reducing maintenance and enabling more time for the fun part.

2020 FORD RANGER TONNEAU COVER GETS A BIT MORE AWESOME

Not happy with the clunky factory cover, our customer knew what he wanted in the tonneau cover for his FX4 but needed an auto upholsterer to bring it to life. 

With custom-cut fittings around the bars, simple yet strong toggles and immaculate stitching, the result was a top performance ute cover that our customer was proud to drive away with.

SMOOTH-EDGE TONNEAU COVER ONE OUT OF THE BOX

Utes like the Mitsubishi Triton double cab allow our team to tackle the challenge of a slick-fit tonneau cover. Off-the-shelf versions were not suitable for our client as they seemed to pucker and lose shape. 

Instead we were able to design a cover to tightly fit the smooth edge of the tray, complete with an easy opening system for simple access. Our team were very proud of the result, which we think offers a fit to rival the design of the vehicle itself.

FAST BOATS NOT FAST FASHION

The before shots say it all – these boat seats came from some well-loved crafts. 

  • The jet boat seats (top row) were ripped so instead of a repair, a full reupholster was the way to go. A pale and modern light grey Billabong canvas was chosen.
  • The four black boat seats (bottom row) were also fully upholstered, with the smart Florida Black marine vinyl.

We’re thrilled our marine upholstery team provided a lasting result for our clients, and now there are a couple more classy-looking boats on the water.

Before and After - well used jet boat seats get a new lease on life with these custom made cover
