Use mums hair dryer to heat and stretch the edges and to get a tighter fold on corners Cut lots of small wedges and idealy use a staple gun,
If your not confident at trimming then start lookin for another dash pad
goodluck either way

For some reason I thought they put the vinyl in the mould, then the expanding foam, but what you say would also work. Could make a mould the right shape from craftwood.

But quick grip is almost the same stuff, and when trying to stretch the vinyal Use your mums hair dryer to heat it, that helps it flex better,

Don't get Spotlight vinyl, it's not UV treated and will fade and crack sooner than later.
Go to a Motor Trimmer supplier (UDA or Daleys) and get Marine Vinyl $20-30 per metre (1 or 2 metres would do @ 1200mm wide) and a can or two of spray adhesive. There are some marine vinyls that stretch both ways, try to get that stuff I think its aimed at motorbike/jetski seat covering.
When spraying the adhesive, let it tack well almost to the point where there is no stickiness left, this way you can lay down the vinyl lightly and if you stuff it up it will come off without removing all the glue laid down. When you are happy with where the vinyl is sitting rub it down with a cloth to force the cglued sides together.
Leather will stretch if worked properly but not much, plus you need to buy a complete hide at $300 plus!
