Just wondering if anyone has had their seats and/or door cards retrimmed in leather?
Looking for a rough price guide on having the retrim done.

you'd be looking at around 1600 i'd say.
was quoted a grand for 2 front seats from Kish Interiors, they are in Newcastle where im from. he's the best!
Beckham sends his cars from spain to him, he's that good!

Do you think so - there better than a lot of cars I've driven. Nice lumbar and side support from them.
Then again mine is yours the sport model?

Omg 9n's got flip out keys? Cool! Didn't know that. As for the armrest, was that ever an option that could be done to the 9n?
As for the seats, seem very comfy although a little loose. Maybe if tightened would be better, could be that they stretched out after sitting on em' so much.
Personally, i'm happy with cloth
We'll just see what I get...

I'd love a leather re-trim but i can't afford it at the mo. Cloth is fine but water stains are a pain in the arse (as im rain water lol)

no side support. the material has gone slightly worn on a small area on the drivers seat too!!

Are those really the Sports seats?! The side supports look so lush, amazing seats! Can't wait to get my TDI Sport now
As for the flip out keys, maybe they were issue only on maybe the S/SE and above models?
