This Morning in Slough...

[Baron_Samedi]

I bought a complete leather interior (with seat heat) from the lock-up of a very nice gentleman

Oh and it came with the seat heat loom and upper control block :bannana:

Just got to get round to installing it now....

would have been easier to swop your number plate over

 

[corned]

I trust you got a VAT invoice to go along with it?

 

[Baron_Samedi]

Err... VAT.... whats that?

Invoice.... We were saving the trees

Oh and for anyone considering a similar purchase, you need something the size of a Citroen Picasso to get all the bits in!

Or take out all the car seats before collection and use a deckchair for the driver!

My friend bought an R32 interior from a lockup once... He was most upset when the police called round and made him give it back...

I did take rear seats out to pick up my interior - slotted new rears in and then the fronts (headrests removed) upside down on top.

Good job he's only got my mobile number

I got all my new interior in my coupe full black leather with electrics, door cards and all plus i had my sub in the boot

 

[Baron_Samedi]

Was there enough space left for you to get in?

lol just about but i was only driving up the road from my mates house.

 

[Baron_Samedi]

Cool

As an aside, I am "conditioning" my interior prior to installation.

(Gots to do something while the weather is soooo rubbish!)

I have settled on the Gliptone product and have to say I am rather impressed.

The drivers seat was quite glossy from bum polishing and rubbing Liquid Leather (GT11?) into the seat base has softened the sheen to a more matt look ie the same as the rest of the interior and... the creases are gradually evening out. Thus I am well chuffed!

One thing I would say is that warmth is your friend when treating leather dents. I found that placing the leather clad cheek parts of my "kit" onto the radiators helped to aid in the recovery

 

[Mudster]

I often find placing my leather clad cheek parts against a radiator helps iron out the creases.....

didn't some celebrity get community service for doing something similar to a rent boy?
