Any luck with the door card photos Migrator?

It seems like my only option will be to repair mine, so it would be very helpful to get a look at how yours have been done...

I had 360dood working on the photos while I was out driving the minibus. He has told me that the camera is out of action. I am going to get some shots with the phone and load these up. Sorry for the delay.

Now lets try with the pics.

Thanks Ian, thats a great help and basically it's what I had in mind for mine....

I'm waiting for some sample vinyl swatches to arrive so I can decide exactly what colour I'm going to use - This is the point where I have to rely on other people as I'm colour blind

Many many thanks
Eddy

Sadly no good for me 4 Forty, I need beige ones, but thankfully I've managed to sort some fairly decent secondhand cards...

I'd just spotted those on Ebay and was just about to post a message myself, you beat me to it!

cant you tear off the leather / vinyl and re glue it? a steamer and some decent glue ought to do it surely
