Is this MB-Tex or mb-leather?

I've tried asking them for the chassis no, but they no longer have the shell.

I've got a feeling it is leather because of the door cards.

Looks tired though ?

its leather. you can tell by the ruffles/creases/cracks on the seats and of course on the door cards.

Yeah... all second hand leather is going to be tired, but they can be restored professionally for as little as £90 for the lot. My dad's mate did it and i have to say, i'm very impressed with the work that the guy did on his seats, it smells/feels/looks like brand new.

Are you seats not electric though as these seem to be manual. Also are you sure this is right colour to match your interior ?

Def looks like leather to me nicely worn.

I did post ages ago about wifes w203 and mbtex and jay came back and said can be difficult to tell but mbtex is good stuff.

i have mushroom MB-Tex in my W124 and mushroom leather in my R107.

Personally, i prefer the Tex. Still looks new 200k on, where as the leather needs to be re-coloured and has the usual bolster wear.

How about this ?

Those C43 seats look great, but i dont know if they'll go in my pre-facelift...

I've got MB-tex in mine at the moment, they are great but i'm just browsing round... I do want to stop spending money on my car so i can upgrade to another car soon

i replaced my door cards with leather ones for the "ruffled look". the combination of the mb-tex seats and the leather door cards is perfect

Have you got the details, for who restored the seats. I fancy having my seats restored.

I was going to do exactly the same thing... but because my rear windows are manual this is proving to be an issue...
