I'm gonna have to disagree with you here Kev, I think theres too much black inside the FTO cabin as it is, I favour the two tone effect myself and I reckon black/grey is a good combo (I would though, wouldn't I!):

From what I've read, the door cards aren't hard to do but its hard to make it last, lots of stories of door card material getting saggy or coming off the door card in the middle and that kinda thing. I think you'd need to have the material shaped properly (i.e. a few parts stitched together) rather than just stuck into place with glue like people have had problems with.

Not the best pic but you get the idea.... haven't done the doorcards so far, must find someone who can shape the material properly to do it.

Missy, the (real) leather covers were part of a group guy on the FTOOC about 2 years ago, IIRC, they cost c. 800 euro at the time.
