    after returning the crap leather i bought a couple o weeks ago,i finally got charcoal faux suede sent back to me the other day.spent most o last nite doing the drivers doors,and after two attempts and a lot o stressing i finally finished.the top half looked really good but there wis a few little creases in the bottom part,so i got maself down til b&q after work the day for a little wallpaper seem roller.its worked a treat so the door card is wrinkle free and now looks pretty damn good.

    only got a couple o pics so far but once i put it back together properly tomorrow or saturday i ll get a few more up wi it on the car.

    its pretty good aye,pics dinna really do it justice as i used ma phone camera.

    just gotta watch you dinna put the suede on straight away,wait til the glue sets a little otherwise it ll come thru and fuck the material.

    its a cheaper alternative to alcantara thats why i got it as real alcantara is 50 pound a metre which is a joke lol, but tbh its about the same just a bit thinner, so you have to wait until the spray glue is dry and tacky before putting the material on
