GT Vinyl elephant hide?

Post by Ren »

Hi all, I think I should be trying to locate Elephant Hide Black Vinyl for the finish to my GT interior. Any ideas on UK suppliers.

I tried Southbound.

There are only 2 suppliers and they are in the States, Auto's International and International Mercantile, both vinyls differ Auto's is a slightly finer grain. I went for the Mercantile product. service was excellent and all the correct edging strip is also supplied. Dave I have some left over if you want to look at it before you order. I am in Barton on Sea about 30 minutes from you.

Regards Nigel
