The plastic that is on the doors under the trims is there to protect the back of the trims anyway.

How will they get wet, do you not run the protective plastic sheet between them and the door or do you hose your interior out regularly?would a thin ply be better than MDF, just worried about the MDF if it gets wet?

An industrial sewing machine would sew it on through the door card, but if it is only ribbon it will probably bunch it up. The only thing I could suggest at this stage is the iron on stuff you should be able to get from a craft store, like double sided tape but heat activated. I doubt it would last long though.
Realistically, for a long lasting job, rip the material off and sew the ribbons in.
Another consideration, is the car out in the sun much? If so is the ribbon UV treated? If it's not treated it will turn white eventually.
The trims look good though, nice simple designs are often the best.

Went to some embroidery places today for some quotes... went to about 4 differnt places each recommending the next, but no one says they can do it..... The door is too long which means they would have to embroid in sections meaning that the line could turn out Not straight.... Hmmmm

Get some strips of MDF or stiff cardboard and some "split" clips.
Fit the clips to the strips and trim the strips in pink, drillholes in the door trims and push through to attach.
You get your pink stripes and 3D to boot.

im pretty sure Rare Spares still do Re-production door trimsDoes anyone replicate the original door trims? with the chrome strip etc? My Kingswood is going to need some new door trims and i don't want just plain flat vinyl.
