Why are Grey/Cream/Beige Leather Interiors so hard to find for a Mk3?

[Wayne]

Any idea on how much it would cost to have all 4 door cards, front and rear seats and maybe parcel shelf re-trimmed in smooth leather... or grainy...? has anyone had this done? I get the reeling it would be about £900.00 for real leather and therefore would not be worth paying for.

More than that, around £1500 is about the money.

Foook.  , I'm guessing thats why very few have it done then.

Anyone on here ever had asection of leather (e.g. bolster) replaced, I wouldn't mind buying a second hand set with bolster wear if I could get them repaired well enough so that you can hardly tell the difference. Things like that really bug me, hence why I still do not have body coloured bumpers and mirrors on my golf yet

Cheers for the responses so far guys 

Does anyone have are 5-door Cream Leather interior which they are selling? Or know anybody who is?, let me know .

Also, does anyone have any idea as to how much it would cost to get mk3 seats and door cards re-trimmed in cream leather... i'm guessing it would cost a lot more than it is worth, but thought I may aswell ask anyway 

Stevens vw are a 20 minute drive from me mate, if you would like, i can always look at a set they have for you an take more photo's for you, I hate having to use them, but they kinda have you buy the nuts & they know it.....  lemme know

Cheers for the offer mate, don't go especally for me, but if you are passing by there and don't mind I would appreciate it, the set stevens have is the very first image in my original post. It doesn't come with the door cards sadly (i dont think), and its got some dodgy orange stain on the rear bench and when I asked them if it could be cleaned off they were a bit   reluctant to give me a decent answer so I dunno if its stained permanently and they don't want to let on until the deal is done sort of thing... and also the bolsters are a bit wrecked i think. But yeah if your passing then I would greatly appreciate some extra photos + info etc... Cheers  

Im afraid thats their attitude to everythig, i called them for a front wing they quoted £20 but said they had no silver, i had seen a silver one there so popped in, he then tried to add a tenner on to remove it.... needless to say some haggling was done an i got that an some other bits for £27 pmsl they are tossers tbh...

Yeah, when I asked about the orange stain on that set of leathers,  they like, we are breakers and would have no idea what would have been spilt on it and if it will come out blah, blah, blah. Very pleasent, so plesent that I felt even more compelled to buy that interior

If you find sets of seats that have collapsed bolsters but the leather hasn't torn, you can replace the bolster yourself with the base from some normal gti passenger seats. I've done it, so have a few others.

Hmmm good point actually, will look out for that. They were doing that on wheeler dealers a coupl;e of days ago to a quattro  Cheers.

Anyone else seen a decent grey leather interior for a 5 door? I keep searching, almost on a daily basis but never find out. Where else would you guys reccomend searching for them besides ebay, the forum's classifieds and even google...?

I know there out there somwhere, but just can't find them... Any advice anyone?
Appreciate everyones advice so far guys, cheers
