   Not too sure tbh.
   
   Would imagine its more expensive than normal materials.

    You can get some suede effect stuff off ebay i believe. I think a guy off sax-p used some and it seemed quite good.
    
    YOur best bet is to stump up the fee for the premium membership and read through. Could save you alot of money and you'd also get to use all the other features

    66 posts says otherwise lol i was just thinking that £7 on a membership may save you having to re-trim your doorcards more than once which would costs alot more

    you may not use the site often but the money you spend here will save you labour and extra expense when you are doing things

    i think u have to remove your cards obviously lol and then you drill out the plastic bits holding in the panel remove the panel sand down the crap and bond your choice of material on then bond the panel back on to the card and reconnect .I have seen both white leather and black alacantra and they both look awesome. I'm having a set trimmed and speaker builds being built on the existing grills by www.plush-automotive.com.

    if you remove the door card then you can cut away the material section of the door card then steam the leather and stretch the leather over the section making sure its nice and tight as you go.
    
    
    
    just take your time.
    
    oh and freddy51r do you live in or near leicester as i know of massey whos working on your doors and his work is some of the best i've seen.
