Use the original as a template, leather off-cuts aren't hard to find I'd a thort, also you can dye them to any colour you want.
re Alcantara

Anything else we can help you with?

Currently hunting for Alpaca Beige dye for the seats and steering wheel.

May get ready to fit covers, may annoy MM4x4 next sat.

Nice find. Mine are on the turn now, so I think I'll treat the truck to some leather.

ETA... Just bought some, free delivery - hurrah! Due 15 Sept - huh? Are they going to walk it round to mine?
