Calling all taxi owners advice needed
 

Rit I'm in a dilema re my interior.

My car is a 88 sapphire, it has grey carpet, grey dash but came with leather seats and door cards. They're mint too.

My dilemma is, do I leave it as is for now one day hoping to find a good enough cloth, or do I put a black dash in (carper too if I could find one??

I really don't know what to do :wall:

Cheers. Jim.

Tricky that I must say. I actually really like the cloth, so would be tempted to hold out for one I think!

You know it makes sense to stick around for cloth! If anyone can find a decent set. It'll be you. It makes sense to have cloth in a 2wd saph!

I hope you do find a set, so i can have your minty leather set :clap:

If I hadn't had leather in mine I'd have liked the late spec rainbow cloth .

HMm, might leave it as is! Just cloth is hard to come by when mint

that's concours condition.... yes lol :cry:

Rs classics maybe worth contacting.Broken up loads recently,one being my old black one :sad: That had leather from new,black plastics,dash,carpet etc.It was an early dash with no holes.Car was 89 and I dont remember the carpet having any holes in it either.

The black dash and leather interior feels more Executive but you cant beat the cloth for comfort imo. Mint cloth 2wd would be my thoughts i have leather in mine and thought about swapping but the black dash seems so correct.Tough one.

Black dash it, police cloth......yum ;)

Opposite do you have a cloth aswell as leather then?

Police cloth is filth :cry:

No but i sat in a cloth interior saph not long ago and just fell in love with them but not as keen on the grey dash now i,m used to mine . I do love a cloth Recaro still got my limited edition Fes turbo ones sat in me conservatory had em years lol .

Good shout Dan,police cloth ftw :grin:

Bugger thought you had a set was gonna get pm'ing :cry:

if anyone has any i'd happily swap for my now ripped drivers seat edition leather!? lol

Sorry matey . I,ll ask the trimmer guy i know for you tommorow, last time i popped my head in the door i saw lots of S2 Recaro,s and he always seems to have good links etc.

Brill! Cheers mate :top:

leather is so much better than cloth id change the lot! mines rwd and has leather but mine is an 89 G

Thread title will get you no where in your quest for advice young man :cry:

as much as I like the leather if you don't got air con it can get a bit warm during the summer months, I do like the cloth too ;-) search for a mint cloth interior ;-)

Luciano

I like the cloth but its bloody hard to find in good nick now.

I might have a black carpet and black plastics for sale if the price is right?

And I've got 2 black dash's lol

How about a late spec cloth from a 2wd with darker bolsters leather door cards and black dash? That's what mine came with.

I'd hold out for a mint cloth trim

Think I'm going to hold out lads, would be nice to take her back to original!

Tbh, I'd swap back to grey dash and cloth if I could find a mint set.

Thats the problem, they seem to be as rare as a mint leather these days

fuck that - leather and black plastics all the way :top:

its as the ol saying goes, "once you gop black, you never look back" :cry:

jimbo all 2wd saffs need cloth and ambers ftw :grin:

James, I think you should part with yours :cry:

Jim bob, quite simple really, whatever the car came with, is what you should have in it, easier to sell on with right interior, looks a genuine car, and it will always piss you off knowing you have the wrong trim lol

i,ll think about it mate,

one like this ?

Ah man that interior looks lush James and them seats are well worth the buy it now price considering the rareity now .

Seen them Mark, dark grey though :(

FFS! Just seen them pics James :( I'm jealous :(

Cloth for yours defo Jim, unless the leather is minty mint with no sags or cracks and peeling door panels it looks a bit shit IMO.


My cloth isnt as mint as James' but its pretty tidy once its cleaned up and is loads comfier than the leather too I reckon
