   nah they wasnt too bad lads, personally i would say if your patient to let the glue dry for 5 minutes everytime you spray a patch then go for it! i started from the middle and wroked my way out, pulling out all the creases and doubling up the glue so it would stick nicely lol even sticking the door card back onto the surround wasnt even that bad! took me about 2 hours to strip the hole door drill all the rivets out and put the door card back in place and on the car, shall be doing the other door card tomoz and then also spraying my dash surround whiteeeee!!

   yeah thanks mate, was debating on wether to do them dark blue leather, but though white would look so much batter on a black motor but im prepared to keep them clean just like my f***ing car every weekend lol

    No i havnt mate sorry, but i am doing the other door card tomoz? ill do you a step by step and post it up if you like, you have to drill the rivets out and glue the door card back on!! i shall do a step by step tomoz and maybe it will get used as a sticky.
    
    so keep your eyes open tomoz, i shall post the step by step guide on this section as soon as i have finished it, probably about 2-3 o clock!
