Thing with leather is it's too stiff to get the shape correctly. Better off with vinyl which you can heat up, or stretchy fabric like the stuff I used. If you look at most leather retrims you'll see seams where it's been cut and sewn into shape.
You also need to use a ton of glue to get it all stuck firmly.

I've had a go at stuff like this in the past. Would never attempt a door card! Too many curves and bumps to strech the material over.
