Sparkstack, I'm beginning to think you're taking our discussion personally and that was never the intention.

Look in the 2003 brochure, 1.4 75bhp Auto with leather front sports seats. Also, ETKA (VW/Audi parts catalogue) only list leather seat covers for Sports seats...
Try looking in the 2003 price list, Issue 6, instead of the pretty pictures in the brochure. See below.
Sport's seats are for Sport version. Funnily enough.
This is very interesting Sparkstack, you're beginning to make my point for me.
Firstly, thats NOT the options list, that is the STANDARD equipment list, if you have tunnel vision look to your left, you'll see a whole new page...
You're not very slick. But I am in no doubt that you believe in what you say. PERHAPS, just perhaps, it doesn't list Sports seats because Leather isn't standard in an SE AND only availiable when you actually specify leather.
I have yet to see an SE without leather Sports seats and I think the brochure, the listing on ETKA (if it had standard leather seats they WOULD be there!!) backs this up enough.
Did you look at the 2003 brochure? Forgot to add, look at the page 'A CHOICE OF UPHOLSTERY'. Again, 'SE, Sport: Leather Sports seats.'
I would have thought common sense ruled out leather in standard seats, there’s barely enough support WITHOUT leather let alone WITH.
I don't quite understand what you mean by they are LEATHER seats, the only part that is actually leather is the trim itself, (e.g. £150+VAT for a leather seat base cover, £50 for a headrest etc etc).
So your telling me that if i went into VW and ordered a Leather headrest, all i would get is the leather & not the headrest??? Don't be so stupid. Maybe your getting confused with the kind of seat covers that you can get from Halfords? With the elasticated back?

They say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and I your post is a pretty cheap shot. Something for nothing? Yes please! However, a sharp tongue does not mean you have a keen mind.
But My God people, I think he’s starting to get this! The only complete part that comes trimmed in leather is the headrest, which is why it costs £50, probably because the thought of knitting doesn't appeal to some people
Call me stupid if you want, obviously I only work for VW/Audi, a person whos only reference is a price list and wives tales is obviously going to know more about they are ordered, let alone how they come standard
Just think about it before you try to shoot me down again.
I kinda did point out in my original post that I was tinkering with the idea of leather seats, I would have thought the prices gave it away, also the line "it'd cost me just over £700 to buy a original leather interior for a Polo". But oh well

To get the Leather seats Factory fitted is £1255.00. That most likely includes the cost of the time taken to build & install them.
No, it includes the cost of the leather, there is extra time required in putting the seats together, only the processes used to prepare the leather is actually expensive.
I know I am not going to change your view. I don’t want to, nor would I try to. I have merely been stating my own. You are not going to change mine either. Take it or leave it, I am unable to care either way. But not everyone feels that they need to insult people on these boards, just because they feel big and clever and nobody knows who they are.
Also, can I ask how old you are? Because your acting like a ignorant 6 year old who’s just been told Santa doesn't exist. For gods sake grow up!! If you don't like, or agree with whats being said here, bad luck, that's ten minutes of your time down the drain. Try another thread next time and if you can't find one to your taste, why not start your own
However, if you still don’t believe me, do check with VW. Freephone 0800 333 666, but they'll only tell you what I already knew...
