    I saw these in our paper, apparently they are a canvas cover for the door and about £145.00, it did give the sellers website but I can’t remember it now. Very clever.

    I posted this a while back

    they seem to be pushing hard but would like to know how sales are doing, I could only see a young rich person who has an isolated garage on his property doing this for a bit of fun.

    The idea is good but practicality is a bit of a waste.

    They look good. They also look like a photoshop con.

    def photoshop and not real products shown (no door handles! to be seen). i doubt it’s a con though.

    i would’ve thought that printing onto composite and then riveting it on would be better!

    They’d be vandalized or stolen in a heartbeat in most parts.

    One of those great ideas but…….

    If its all real its well done with no handles to be seen, woudn’t have it with velcro mind you.

    I like the idea, but I think after a couple of weeks it would become boring to look at…

    I’ll give their PR guy an A* though, not only in the daily mail but also middle pages of the Sun, Not bad Free advertising. 😀

    What if you had strong magnets sewn into the edges and had an opposing magnet on the inside? Be a lot stronger then velcro.

    Good Idea but most garage doors are wooden or aluminum.
    Just shows though if you own a printer how vast our market can be.

    No I mean have the magnets sewn in the edges of the print and then place the opposing magnet on the inside of the door. I saw that trick for using magnets to install window perf on windows where magnets obviously don’t stick to glass.
