slickshoes is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Leather or leather look material

So i have leather-look seats (but i've cleaned them with leather-cleaner which retains (or in this case, creates) the classic leather smell), and they look and smell fantastic, and are often confused with actual leather seats, even though they cost a mere £20.

Which is all well and good, apart from.. They completely clash with the door panels, which are the original pattern (which, in the Mardi Gras case, is quite shockingly old-man-esque).

So, what i want, is some material like the leather look seat covers to fashion onto these panels. It could be really easily done if i had the material, and would look excellent.

Anyone know where i could get some? Cos of course i could just take some from another set of seat covers, but that's like £20..

Thanks!

Lee

Try a larger retail park sized fabric shop - they usually have a few rolls of Faux leather (And fur but keep away from fur in your car!)

Down here it cost about £15 per meter - you probably wouldn't need much either.
