ok...looks like it's decision time for me then.....

reckon it looks like the best bet is to use blokey in the street unless JJ has managed to negotiate any special SE rates with Bailies!??!

or i could just stop being such a someone who cares for their vehicle so as to ensure its value is retained and they dont drive a shed and leave the seats in black cloth.... hmmmm....

Sanjoy,
That would be me, I made new center sections for my seats. New foam covered them in Alcantara, they are ok but a bit bulky if I'm honest. More comphy but to thick at the top section.

MMC charged me £380 to recover my passenger seat in red leather.

I went round all the usual suspects and no-one could procure an exact match to the Lotus hide so they were suggesting a complete interior makeover :cry:
