I gave up looking and ended up visiting the local car upholsterer (found in yellow pages), they sold me enought to do my seat on the SZR.

Andy M stuck this link up in the 'recommended services' section a while back...

Might be worth a try.

Try your local tip. (if they let you), & if lucky, you might find an old vinyl three piece or something which you could attack with a craft knife.

Did this myself a few years back.  (black vinyl)    very nice on the cx500!

& very green too!!!!

Or a charity shop - sometimes even get thin leather too.  Mind often the best panels are in ladies skirts, the bigger the better - now you have to go in to Oxfam and buy some tarty leatherette skirt in red pvc, size 18 and try to really act as if it is not for yourself to wear..  ;D
