Is it possible to retrofit leather to a 2005 VW Beetle? If so, any recommended places in/ near West London and how much would it cost?

Many thanks for all advice! smile

Anything is possible... look up LG Trimming, they're in London and advertise on the MINI forums I use.

Either that or source an interior from a write off/breaking car that you can retrofit into yours.

I'd agree with this post.

I would firstly attempt to source the complete interior (And Doorcards) via Ebay or a scrappy. Pay attention to Heated Seats and Side Airbags (If Applicable)

Secondly a re-trimming company can carry out the work for you, the benefit is this will be to your exact specifications, though it may prove to be expensive

That was my first thought.

Get a complete interior from eBay.

The seats you can have where also fitted to the golf mk4, bora, a3/s3 etc so they fit but the bettle has different door cards.

Recaros are the best but there's other leathers available
