making leather seats?? thats going to be hard to do mate, get a trimmer to do the seats, can get the whole lot done for around 600 including the doorcards

there is a guide for retrimming the doorcards in the premium section, or you can search i did mine to match my gti interior

what guides are you wanting exactly

well i think its just a case of using the existing cloth or the seats mate to make a patter/template cut it all out and stitching it together :)

as for the doorcards just lay some leather/cloth over it using spray glue, but if the material has holes in it make sure glue is dry before you put the cloth on

i read that to do mine ages ago but instead of using the epoxy resin i used a soldering iron and bits of plastic to get it all back together
