But still have my old ones in the loft that I'm going to get trimmed in leather a few places have said they can do it but because on the shapes it will not be in one piece but will have a few seems. But I'm fine with that as I no if I buy anther good set the leather will shrink again

I have though about getting a set of new door cards,the ones that have a bigger part of cloth in them(like the cossie rainbow trim) and get the cloth part trimed in leather.

you can clearly see in the pics that show the 2 front door cards that there is a difference in the 2, where one has shrunk bad!

look at the gap at the edge of the panel, bubbled up.
