Hi everyone im looking for some material for a dash im planning and to cover the door cards. Looking for a white material that is similar to leather but synthetic i believe. Looked online and in shops like hobbycraft but no luck. Seen a few people with similar stuff on pictures on the forum was wondering if anyone had any ideas where its stocked.

Cheers Mike

Was going to do this with my Mini before she came off the road. I'd suggest using some foam padding behind it too, so the dials squash it down a little, I think that would look pretty smart.

Yeah buying some from hobbycraft when it arrives along with a staple gun

I was also going to say hobbycraft with the staples use 6mm staples and spray glue and make sure to stretch the pleather nice and tight.

Thanks very much Where have people got there foam padding from by the way? Hobbycraft just fo this thin stuff and b&q dont seem to do it. Ebay like everything else?

I have used the cheap laminate floor underlay (the type on a roll) beneath the vinyl before and that gives a nice thickness and softness without being to chunky. And its cheap. I used this on the dash, door cards and the parcel shelf cover.
