For a Recaro seat around Ł275-Ł300 each. Just did Nath's Sparco race seat to match his Focus RS seats (blue and black leather with alcantara), but I'm not allowed to post up pics, as it is being featured in Fast Ford shortly .

bonus_boy

300 a seat....and can pick up a decent full leather interior for that price...

well never mind....

guess i wont be having mine done

yup its bloody expensive and i dont think its worth it

you can deffo pick up a nice 2nd hand interior for that then sell your own

Could be cheaper, as it will all be in one colour (unlike Nath's), but would still be at LEAST Ł260.

yer leather retrims are serious money i sold black leather seats which came in my car for just under Ł400 and there condition was pretty average

bonus_boy

well i realy realy want some recaro leathers......

but yesterday i picked up a full minttt 90 spec interior, fronts, rears and doorcards for cheap so migh just use them...

how much is normally a mint 90 spec interior...

mate, no disrespect to your car at all here, but why put a Ł1000 interior in a 1000 car? . The 90 spec recaros are great, and it will transform your car, without costing a fortune , save your cash up, my mate is 19 and just bought himself a 4x4 saff cossie, he's been drving a fiesta and saving cash, instead of spending Ł2000 on a car he will be selling on anyway when he can afford a better car

Rhys

Yup interior retrim is not cheap at all

timturbo

19 and a cossie dats quality

I had my 1st cossie at 19 as well , thing is, people say they can't afford a better car, so get a 2k car then spend 4k on it ( easily done, Ł1000 wheels tyres etc, exhasut, airfilter, superchip is another Ł800 easy) instead of biting the bullet and just paying high insurance for a year

Andreas

Does the price differ much between different kinds of leather or is it pretty much the same?

Btw Mike, how come you know so much about leather?

bonus_boy

well i payed 100 quid for full minttt 90 interior...fronts, rears and cards...
so migh just keep the interior standard 90 spec

bonus_boy

and got a set of seat nos cards for 80

whats a decent 80spec set up got for now, or 88 spec (what ever we decided to call it in that poll)

would like to go back to the old trim

bonus_boy

in my escort popular i had 88spec fronts, but brought fronts and rears for 50 quid in good condition....

duno which i prefer...88 or 90 spec...as i like the 88spec because there more oldskool feel i think...
