Need to retrim the seats on my hunter but till now havent found any material similar to the original!!
Only found a black material which is remotely similar but I need it to be brown.
Will try and post a photo of it later on, maybe someone could give me a lead to a Uk supplier who has in stock and could post to Malta.

Here it is, will need 2 types, perforated and plain and in the same colour.
I am not touching the door cards since all they need is a clean up so therefore colour should be spot on with them!!

The trims looks very good to me! Woolies do a range incl perforated but I doubt if they do that unusual colour

You could re-colour using the speciality p[aint sfor vynil which can be mixed to te exact colour. This is best done befire making up the panels.

The only problem with any "paints" is that even if they bond into the top layer they will wear off

Already tried woolies but they only have black in stock
Didnt wish to tint exactly for the same reason u gave, this will be used on sunday outings (picnics etc) and the like so with all the family on board + luggage, I want the interior to be particularly hard wearing!!

Unfortunately that seat is the only good one, the driver's seat is torn very badly and the back seat has a couple of tears and the top is very hard, the sun we have here destroys car interiors especially vinyl ones.
The top dash is also a mess and will have to take it off and retrim it but thats quite easy to replicate!!!
