Re: ROBolop Design (bmw e46)
As for the armrest I did a small change . The original latch to open the door is chromed.
I definitely wanted to make this view come back in my armrest I’m making.
I cut out an aluminum plate of 5 mm thick and then glued it to the MDF and held against the copy milling cutter.
Simple. Of this alloy you will only see the thickness . I'm going to polishing and chrome plating leave.

To put everything firmly tight I have two pieces of aluminum machined from 6mm . These you won’t see anymore once everything is covered. So it would seem like the armrest is floating.

Because everything is no longer flat , I provided the inside with 5 layers of polyester

Sanded, and sprayed it black.

When everything is ready for the doors they go on a diet
