Material for re-covering

  1. #1
    Anyone know the best place for grey/dark grey alcantara (sp) as used of 106 gti seats ?? places by me want 150 re-cover two front door cards ??

    or, is there another material that looks the same, but slightly cheap ??

    :thumbup:

    genuine alcantara is like £100 per square metre. There is fake alcantara kicking about, ebay is a good bet.

    Cool.........is it easy enought to mould it round the inter doors?? or does it really need to be cut around the handles etc. ??

    its quite easy to do really, just take your time doing it so you dont get any creases in the material

    This is my worry........creases!! With the handles sticking out so far.....I can;t see the material sitting flat......I can see/feal the creases forming and I've not even tried yet.

    Any tips for getting it flat around the curves/countours ??

    if you used a good contact adhesive to stick it down with i think it would be alright
