Actually my car came with a black/grey cloth interior. I wasn't really looking for leather, but couldn't just pass up this deal.

Here is a pic of the current interior (which is in a great shape btw):


Can't wait to swap in the leather.

@matt: I got the donor seats from the wrecker's, a GS that got rear-ended.

The cloth seats are in good shape and don't look too bad. But the reasons I am swapping to leather are:
- got a great deal
- I figure it'll be easier to sell the car with leather

How much are you selling your cloth for? I really like the look of the cloth...

Not sure how much I want for it. Not much though.

I live in Belgium, so shipping will cost you a bit. However, if you just want the covers I don't think it will be that much.

PM me for more info.

So I have started swapping the seats. The rears are done, did it in about 20 min. I have started to take apart the door panels and will be installing the leather part in my doors.

I have a question though. Unlike my rear cloth seats, the 02 leather rear seat have a label on them which says "ISOFIX/LATCH". What's the actual difference between the 2? They look identical?

Yeah! That's why I just couldn't pass it up.

I do have some work on the front seats though, as the interior comes from a RHD car. So I will be taking the covers off.

Also the "new" seats are heated. I may take the heaters and put them on my seats if it isn't too hard to do.
