Westfalia interior panels for Helsinki - 8 piece set

Discussion in 'Product Reviews' started by geordieandy, Jan 27, 2015.

  1. I have spent far too much time researching laminate wood to try and redo my recently acquired 74 Westy interior myself as part of my winter renovations however I wasn't happy with any of the laminate choices currently available from all the main places so started looking into buying as close to genuine as possible stuff and came across http://nlavw.com/ / @NLAVWParts

    I gave Adam a ring and he was super helpful over the phone and did me a little bit of a deal for being a http://thelatebay.com member and the next day the panel set has turned up and I honestly can't fault it. I also got a single sheet of laminate at the same time and that is also spot on :thumbsup:

    I will post some pics of it in the bus when I get around to fitting it (there are about 20 other jobs to do first!) but for anyone thinking of replacing their interior I wouldn't hesitate to recommend @NLAVWParts

    looking good mate, look forward to the pic's my slider door card is foooked would love to replace that and some other bits but it's on the growing to do list as it won't make the camping any different!
     
  3. All my panels were like this so whilst I have everything out as it's also getting repainted I thought I should get the bits I can ready to finish it off properly when I get it back. By the time you by the 3mm ply, cut it all to the right sizes, bond the laminate, cut the holes etc I figured it made sense to go this route especially as the Westy furniture was no where near as bad hence only getting 1 bit of extra laminate to fix a few small bits.

  4. I bought the tailgate one for a Berlin, but half of the holes are drilled in the wrong places!
     
  5. Hmm @AndyC - maybe I should pop out and try some of the panels to check that myself!?
     
  6. I would.

    I bought the sliding door one and the tailgate one.

    Sliding door one was perfect, couldn't be happier.

    Rear one, not so much.

    I'd say only half were perfectly lined up, 2-3 are never going to line up, and the others I just about manage.
     
  7. I might just do that then! Did you contact the seller who I presume was @NLAVWParts @AndyC ?
     
  8. No I didn't.
    It was a good couple of weeks between buying it and fitting it.

    I might, however, let them know that it's not 100%.
    Not sure what to expect from them though.

  9. I'm sure they will read this thread so hopefully they will be able to help you in some way
     
  10. I have just got around to checking my tail gate one and I have the same issue as you :-( I have contacted Adam at @NLAVWParts and pointed him to this thread as there must be an issue with the template they are using for these tailgate bits as the rest look spot on.

  12. Cheers @NLAVWParts . Adam told me that some 73 / 74 models have the old holes from the prototype bay, like the prototype bay tail gate panel hence why sometimes there can be this issue. He was great with me and is swapping mine over and I can't fault him and the company so far so definitely worth getting in touch with them @AndyC
