Very good quality of finish, well done. Those door pockets look as though there's a rounded bit for a travel mug which the my standard vw's don't. What are they?
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

I used some fake leather fabric from Dunelm Mill and some padding (although I'd use upholsterly foam if I did it again). All stuck together with evostik spray carpet adhesive. The edges and corners were the time consuming part, but basically it just involved taking my time and feathering and folding and sticking.
Give it a go!

Hey Smosh,
They're 6x9"s from Fli. They're pretty deep and only just fit, but they're in!

Thanks. I'm planning to do the same, making the new from the old ones as templates...
