first bit of advice is dont do it, i did it to mine a few months back it looks crap and doesnt fit properly after (well mine didnt)
but if you do do it get a leather thats quite stretcchy and take your time with it i got my mum to help me with it and spent about 3 hours trying to get it right and still looked shite (only did the one panel and gave up)

Same here, you need a really strechy material. I was using alcantara. It looked shit afterwards

Also its very awkward to take the door cards off if you have a window winder rather than electric windows.
