Can't you just wait for some on eBay or post on here in the parts for sale/wanted section?

Each to their own and all that, but what's so great about leather to the point of re-trimming a virtually brand new car? I personally wouldn't even have considered buying a performance golf with leather and that's before you even start looking at the upgrade costs!! :shocked:

Buy a second hand set as your looking at about 4k for full re-trim maybe more due to your location  :smiley:

Price wise, second hand probably won’t work out any cheaper, and then there’s fitting. Plus I want light coloured leather which is very rare.

That’s probably all the dealer does anyway, re-trim the seats, plus cost on brand new car is a couple of grand anyway. So doing it on a 2019 plate will probably be similar money.
And yes I do prefer leather seats!

I had a retrim done by 'seat surgeons' in York. A touch under 2k IIRC which included the door cards. That was about 5 years ago though.
