Why not reuse the original covers Baz? It will help the car sell easier if you ever wish to.

I forgot to mention that it should be on the bottom 5 inches or so of the door cards

Yes it is on the door cards too.
I understand that many want to keep their car original and I respect that. I on the other hand believe every car should reflect the person and what they want it to do and be. I intend going down the ID19 engine and 4 speed box in the next year. I have already started on rewiring and converting to 12v electrics. I intend fitting a electric oil pump and also a electric water pump and pressurising the system. I also have a Corsa steering column to adapt which will give me power steering and the safety feature of a collapsible column in case of a accident. Add to that the Landrover engine mounts and you probably get the picture.
My aim is to end up with a car that can hold its own in modern traffic and be reliable. I bought a LHD purely because most of the touring we want to do will be in Europe.
Back to the seats and it is just that I do not like the colour or finish. I wanted to go leather but with us both being vegetarians and my wife threatening to use my skin to cover the seats it has been decided to go for a all material look. I hope it turns out ok but if not it will be redone.
