   I was thinking of retrimming my door cards and seats, so does anyone know a site I could get cheap leather or leatherette from??

   Why don't you just get a 106 gti interior?

   Unless your a professional your attempt is just going to be hilarious. A professional job is usually £600+ whereas GTI interior is £300. Ebay for genuine leather

   use the old interior as a template, and if you want any stitching in the back or bases then get some quilting stuff so it has something to hold to
