Pre embossed PVC?
Can you buy pre embossed PVC? The stuff with a pattern already on the material with foam backing? I thought it may look a bit better than plain PVC on
the dash and side pannels. Also if it does exist where to get it from, and maybe leather too.
Cheers

I got some black leather look upholstery stuff from ebay for under £20 including post. It looks decent quality and is 5' wide x 10' long.
I didn't realise it would be so big but I'm not complaining (as the actress said to the bishop  )
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I got the blue perforated leather for my interior from Martrim 01606 834480. They do a really big range and sold me 2 half hides for £40, and as per
earlier post that is a lot of leather. They will post out samples.

You bought one then? Have I missed out on something, the return of our leader and MK owners club?

what about real lether?
I was thinking what about real lether (as one of my friends works with lether)? As there probably will be a lot of humidity, it might start to rot or
something... Of cours it's also quite expensive, but it sure looks cool

Zetec - how did you get on with trimming with the leather? I am leaning towards it but is it difficult to work with?
