does anyone know how much meters of vinyl you would approximately need to re upholster 78 clubman seats, the 2 front seats, back seat, front door cards, rear door cards and back parcel shelf.

the front seats are the high back variety.

Cheers

I bought 30M and still have about 20M left. Still got to door the doors, reckon they're about 3.5 - 4M of vinyl.

20M will do it easy. Remember to keep everything close together when drawing out the new pattern pieces.

If you cut it carefully you should have enough big bits left over to keep for repairs.
