Dodgy picture there certainly not worn, a lot of it is light reflection where i have just treated them.

Besides i would love to spend loads of money on rubbish to put in my pride and joy!!

Looking good! :D

How come you want cloth not leather? Love the smell of leather seats :p

Considering getting mine re-trimmed one day, same kinda look as the 225 steering wheel... black with red stitching around the outside with the black/red dimple sort of style in the middle sections... think it would look quite nice :)

I just prefer cloth to me honest like the look of the standard cloth recaros in the LCR, but these will do for a while lol

I have to admit, I love the look of leather, especially leather Recaros. The S3 seats for instance are lovely to look at and comfortable to sit in. But, when you're giving it the beans you don't feel as securely in the seat as you do with cloth. And as already mentioned, in very hot or very cold weather you either freeze or burn and stick to it.

Shorts + Leather + Summer = Pain!

Jonny - i did think of the re trim, was going to get golf cloth recaros. priced half leather with the red stitching, got quoted £1100.00 and tht was the cheapest hence the move to full leather lol!
