Has anyone got any pics of MK1's with leather?

Chris, I've got cream leather in mine and it makes so much difference with the look compared to the cloth interior IMO, unfortunately I've never taken any pics of my interior, but have a looksy at this website, it has a load of interiors on it, it's mostly USA specs I think but you'll get the idea. --> http://dana.ucc.nau.edu/~kaw5/interiors.htm
Cheer for that Gibby  :wink: How has your interior lasted? I love the Rivage cream leather interior  :cool:

Ok really considering its probably been a daily driver for all its life, theres some wear on the top bolster of the drivers seat but it's more of a scrape than a hole through if you know what I mean, the back are mint as they never get used and the passenger seat is fine. I probably need to get myself some of that liquid leather stuff just to get rid of some of the blemishes on them. Have you thought about just getting your seats recovered Chris ?

I had my standard seats re-covered in black leather with white stitch detail and white embroidered VW logo's on the fronts and as soon as the funds permit I'll be having more work done to the door cards etc. Highly recommend MJ Interiors if your up this way.

tbh Di, I've never ever thought about it but I'd hope my alarm would have gone off long before they start ripping it out. You just know I'm gonna be sh1tting my pants all the time now though dont you ! :laugh:

As Mirage- says Chris, MJ is up this end and just near me so if you got him to do it and you needed somewhere to kip I can sort that out for you no problem. :smiley:

Was thinkin that Di, one more successfully hijacked thread and no a sing of mix anywhere!

Surely the fact that youd be happy with an exhaust for a prezzy just makes u more complicated? At least most ladies u can get round with shiny jewelry and flowers!

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:

...and flowers from the local garage are far cheaper than a full exhaust system that's for sure !  :laugh:
