Vinyl cloth supplier
 
I,ve just finished my dashboard , covered it in Black Vinyl cloth....all very normal etc

But

Thought I would show a link to the supplier, as its a very good price & delivery was quick & its a good quality vinyl,

Kitparts direct charge £20 for the same size :eek:

This supplier ...it was £5.99 plus £2.99 postage ....bargain :cool:

There,s enough vinyl to do the Dash AND the rear tub lid if thats folks intentions.

cheers

KPD can do some bargains, but I doubt they can buy the vinyl in quantities to make it best value.

Always worth checking local suppliers as well (Markets stalls, upholsterers)

Or raid the back of the sofa ;)

I know it's not exactly cheap but that suedey stuff alcantara or what ever it's called looks neat on a dash panel even the trans cover:cool:

alcantara is about £20 per meter squared and is not waterproof.
