[ROVERNET - UK] Interior Trim for a P4

[Brooks]

There is a product called leather touch that I have used to subsitute for 
leather quite often with great results. There are several leather 
look-a-likes but you must be careful .
 Interior panels like the P4 are easy to replicate and most local trim shops 
should be able to give good results.

 Regards

 Dennis
