My advice would be not to cover door cards completely with leather. If you do, make sure leather don't go beyond rubber door seal.
If leather wraps door card completely then you will have a strip of leather outside door rubber seal, effectively exposed to street conditions. This means that after one winter that leather will become mouldy. That mould will be impossible to remove.
Audi have a technical note in ELSA that full leather door cards are not repairable because of mould and should be replaced. They specifically made a batch of door cards that have plastic strip in circumference beyond the rubber seal and then leather inside the car. If ordered new those door cards are prohibitively expensive (£5500 for a set of 4 without VAT).
