A couple of pics of my weekends work. I picked up a really dirty set of cream leather seats just before christmas, from a breaker on ebay. It took me about 5 hours of scrubbing and leather conditioner to get then something close to worthy of being fitted into my coupe and I have had to drop the drivers seat off at an upholstery place to have the usual bolster wear sorted so no pics of that yet. It really brightens up the interior! Can't be many coupes with cream leather? front seat rears Cleaned drivers seat needing repair drivers seat

Cream leather is going to look good - what colours your car? Anyone know how much the respective coloured leather options were from new?

It's Inky so the cream provides a nice contrast from the previous black. They came out of a 20v (the door cards were trashed) so I saved the arm rests and lower door pocket panels which are cream, with a view to finding some decent black door cards and adding them on later. I'm not sure whether I should be putting 20v cards into my 16v though.

The cream leather is in my 16v Nigel. I would somehow have to fit 20v door cards so I could use the cream armrests and door pockets. I've just been looking at 16v door cards versus 20v - you're going to have to get a bit creative..... I have a pair of both types if you want to experiment Let me know before about 12:30 and I can bring them home with me

What happens if turn that plug off?
Seats look great by the way, hopefully you can fit the parts off the door card Nigel has instead of the whole card? You really want to use a good leather sealer on those like the one in gtechniq range, you'll get die transfer to the cream leather from blue jeans if you don't.

My freezer defrosts Jimbo! I still haven't got my drivers seat back from the upholsterers yet and have a couple of marks on the passenger seat to try and remove, but I will definitely look into a sealer of some sort. Have you used the Gtechniq stuff? Someone also recommended C4 bumper gel for my plastics.
