Door Cards Leather Covering

Hi,
I would like to cover in leather the centre part of my door cards to match my JCW chili Red leather sports seats.
Can any body recommend a good car trimmer in the Essex area.

Thanks

Chris

do you mean the centre of the door where my quilting is or the centre parts where the grey alcantara is done?

you can do the work yourself, I did on my interior, black ostrich leather around the outside of the oval, tan ostrich leather inside the oval, and matching dash, steering wheel cover and shift boot.

so that I can show you another color scheme. There are other people in the US that have done some nice interior work, different colors, including full dash, side cards, rear, and headliners.

no, the floor is OEM. The car was originally cordoba beige all around, I did the front door cards and the rear cards, added the blue seats, and then got matching custom coco mats made to match the rest of the interior bits.

here is a shot from the other side of what the interior looked like before

try Mstyle in Romford, I don't know if they do custom stuff but they do fit Hamann interior stuff so maybe. They fitted my aerokit and did a good job but some people have bad reviews of them. M Style Mini - Body Styling Kits and Accessories

Hi,

Crammy Thanks for your reply.
I also used Mstyle for my body kit , but was not that impressed with the way they left kit not fitting. So would not go back there even if they paid me.
