why not.

i know the leather is a pain in the summer, too hot and all that, but it looks the part when in the car.

Makes the car look even better.

i would go for it, if you don't like it, exchange it back with someone else.

leather trims go from £750 upwards.

But these are pretty rare to find.

Dunc I no what you mean by the sliding about. had the rouse with the leather,

as said the leather looks better, but its not nice in the hot weather, Might go for the half leather . copy you if you dont mind.

i have been in es cos with leather and an es cos with cloth,
the only prob i found with leather is that i was sliding all over the show,
the cloth was a lot better ride and a bit comfier,
do prefer the look of the leather though

Have leather in the saff and its crap. Slide all over the place,burns your arse off in the summer,freezing in winter. Only advantage of it IMO is it looks nice and wears well. Had a S1 RST years ago,and the cloth Recaros in that were 100 times better/comfier than the saffs!
