Jim 2 Posted July 11, 2004 Leather! Leather interior really adds a touch of class - and £450 is a bargain for a leather retrim, if the guy is as good as you say he is :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris CORRADO 0 Posted July 11, 2004 if he's good let me have his number i want leather !!!!! lol ohhh and to answer you question mate leather all the way PVC *plastic* will make you stick to the seats and sweat like hell in the british summer time LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvwloon 0 Posted July 11, 2004 I have owned (#shudder#) in the past a lovely marsupial beige Morris Marina, with luxurious plush brown vinyl, if you like a sweaty arse and the pleasure of gingerly peeling your legs off it in summer, PVC's the one for you! Youl'l never get out of the car quickly again, unless you like the feeling of getting your legs waxed! Leather, definately. P.S. Where is this guy based, for that price I'm interested myself.

dinkus 10 Posted July 11, 2004 Aww go for PVC all the way... get some handcuffs attached to the seats as well! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted July 11, 2004 In hot weather you'll still stick to the leather - unless you have aircon... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dinkus 10 Posted July 11, 2004 Seriously, if you're gonna re-trim the seats go for Alcantra. Leather looks a bit cooler, but it's really not a great material for actually sitting on. Even with air con, after a long journey you'll still get a sweaty back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
