Pre embossed PVC?
donut - 19/1/05 at 07:45 AM

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

not sure if its exactly what your looking for, but this guy seems helpful. i ordered some from him a couple of days ago, havent recieved it yet.
leather
failing that, i reckon the best bet would be a show.
all the best,
Tom

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 )

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.

Cool

I will be using your car as an example and motivation for doing mine.

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

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

I got my leather on Ebay loads for £20, bloke said he had 200 1/2 hides to sell!

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