I bought two hides, one was used on the front seats and the other will do the back seat. The panels are in matching leathercloth

That's presuming the car has a set of leather seats Mike. If you're looking at replacing the vinyl seats you need roughly 2 metres of vinyl per seat (150cm wide fabric) Make sure the vinyl is of an upholstery quality otherwise the seams will rip with use.
9 metres will recover front/back seats and do all door cards/scuttle panels etc.

darn so fabric that's 137cm isn't going to cut it?
hmm I'll see if I can track it down in a 150cm wide bolt

I only suggested 150cm wide as that way you can get 2 2dr door cards side by side on the width (and that's the width you can get it in around here). I'm sure 137cm would be fine, but I'd buy a bit more fabric just in case
