I want to recover my door cards to match the grey alcantara on my STI seats...

Tryed to buy locally but cant get it, some suppliers dont even know what alcantara is until i explain.

Ive also been trying to source complete door cards but no luck..

So who sells it...?

Thumbs up

Available from most shops selling dressmaking material. Yellow pages will help.

I think you can get the stuff in just about any colour. I remember a thread donkeys ago when I was thinking about covering an ICE install in some of it.

I seem to remember two types - cheap & the £40/m Italian stuff.

Think your biggest problem is getting it colour matched, unless the already know of STI grey.

I just phoned the guy from Martrim ltd 01606 834480

asked for a samle of grey 'Italian' style alacantara

He sent me two samles one is a dark grey (the STI colour) and the other is a very light silver grey

so im ordering the dark one as its a very good match.
