Might be easier to put a post up asking if any one wants your interior, for a black one out of theirs,would cost a fortune out of ford to buy the trim

Thanks for the replys but, I don't think any one would be willing to swap there seats for mine as it's the black ones every one wants plus mine have wear on the bolster. I would like a price for them as if not I will get mine trimmed in leather, I would go to my parts dep but there not very usefull.

you cannot get the fabric alone, i would think a good trimmer will be able to source it though for you

Or Ł1500 to have both front and rear seat trimmed in a high grade napa leather, with original recaro and the RS lettering. Will post up some pics when it's done.
