Leather or Alcantara dash & seats

[Ult-Jim]

I know it has probably been asked before, but why did you choose one or the other when building your car and if purchased second hand did it swathe your decision on which car to buy?

Thanks Paul for your post with experience and what it really costs to go your own route. One to remember for any future builder. Really helpful. I personally prefer leather, so I ask how difficult it is to replace a Alcantara interior for a leather one? I guess the front windscreen may have to come out and removing the alcantara may be messy?

It must be a rainy day in the UK today, dragging up old posts! I went for a car with leather in the end and am very pleased. I have used Autoglyn's leather care balm to care and nourish the leather. When not in use or when working on the car I keep the seats & dash covered with a cloth sheet to prevent the build up of dust and dirt building up in the stitching & corners of the seats.
