Default 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

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

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

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

cheers
andy

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

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

i plan to have a simple dash this time around.

this is the one i made for my mini van in alcantara



and these are the ones i do at work along with loads of other bits
