   Cant find the guide i read many moons ago.
   
   The easiest way is to take the standard covers off and use them as a template. Once you've done that you can work out how much of each colour material you will need

   dont mean to piss on your parade mate but alcantara is a biatch to clean. are you better off with leather/faux leather? at least thats more easily maintained.
