I don't think so lee, this is a VW material used in beetles, I used it to cover my cupboards, it is easy to work with, cuts nice and neat and has a close weave fabric on the back of the vinyl.
I got it from minitrimmings

No, not really - at least, the stuff in our '88 Club Joker doesn't. It's a more random texture, much more "woven".

Lee, are looking for the stuff that sticks to the metalwork around the windows, like on my multivan?

If so, if you find somewhere that sell the same stuff, give me a shout

if the gowesty stuff is good, i can always get it bought back in a suitcase

They should be able to post you a sample? If they won't because of international postage I can give you a Canadian address they could post to, then get it forwarded on.
