Sorry about the hijack Dave :oops:
Define "decent" :lol:
I generally get my stuff from UDA or Daleys, both have stores all over Australia.

Velour can be pricey, if you want cheap go to Spotlight or a Fabric Warehouse, but check if the velour is UV treated if the car will be in the sun. You are probably better off spending the extra $5-10 per metre for the right stuff in the first place.
I'd do the rear parcel shelf in vinyl as it is easier to keep clean.

body colour spats
if you put flattening base in yor paint there'd be none of that silly cutting and buffing :x no polishing :x just run it through a car wash every now and then :D
