Mikey, my gf's cousin does all of the work for Boronia Marine... i'm sure they could supply the stuff you are looking for. they have this leather look-a-like material which is fantastic!
I'll find out their details, but their warehouse is in preston I think.

Dan, that would be horses, not cows!!!

We have been drooling over the stuff.... well I have been anyway.....

and the craft/dressmaker/thingy shops like spotlight have all that stuff, in fact have amazing stuff..... I haven't been into those kinds of stores much.... don't do a lot of that kind of thing....

But is really REALLY cheap!!!!

Am considering doing some trim to the Astina on the cheap, Aaron says he can help me too... with the teal/green colour that is inside mine, I was figuring on doing it in charcoal/carbon colour? not black, but close to black? does that make sense?

prolly not! :P

Cheers and let me know how you go, I would be interested in LOTS of pics of the door trim off and stuff too for when I want to stuff around with mine PLEASE squishy?
