[alfa] RE: WANT to BUY: 164 Door panels with black inserts

["Michael Robertson" <michael_l_robertson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

After searching endlessly and a failed attempt at having a professional dye 
the beige ones on my 164LS, I purchased leather with very similar pattern as 
the seats.

I bought 50 sq. ft of black leather from elmo leather (www.elmoleather.com) 
and covered the panels myself. I am almost complete with the project if 
you'd like pictures.

For the project, I also bought hardboard to cut new panel backing and some 
padding material. The leather was $5 per sq ft. (total $250).

New panels (if found) were priced at $90 each.
Dying (although failed) was $70 (for all 4 panels)

I might have leather left over if interested.
