thinking of upgrading interior

[eoinbenjimancox]

folks thinking of upgrading seat s and steering wheel to alacantra, just wondering what peoples thoughts are and also curious to know what you folks think about pricing? the seats are from a v12 and i presume they should slot straight in?

steering wheel codes obviously have to match?
thanks in advance http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/imgs/2.gif

Nora Batty's tights were a better fit than those seat covers!

[eoinbenjimancox]

or does anyone know of someone who fits same to existing seats?

Any decent trimmer will do it like this

they look like they have been messed with
My passenger one had a new cover fitted by some one outside the factory and was nearly as bad

If they have the sub frame & motors they will be a direct mechanical swap but you will have to deal with the lack of airbags in them.

Damn Nick that interior is nice! every time you post a pic of it I am sooooooo envious!
Coz i have the crappy old V8V interior I can't even retrim to get a similar effect.

Can't imagine who's OEM interior inspired that re-trim?



Hopefully this will also help you with how the OEM lightweight seats covers should look!
