  • VR6 leather interior

    How much is the going rate for one? Not including the door cards.

    Cheers

      So $400 is a good deal for a mickey set then! And what's even more suprising is it's from a VW specialists who regularly ass rapes unsuspecting people on parts and the such.

                  Leather is only really a problem when its dirty or hasn't been maintained. Leather, whether its on a car seat or sofa has very different characteristics to when it has been cleaned and conditioned to when it has been sitting in a car for 8-10 without a moment of care.

                    There are quite good conditioners on the market to bring them up to standard. The set I've acquired are in good nick but are slightly on the hard side. I'm sure they'll soften right up with a bit of TLC though.

                      Hey Boris, are these kits re-upholster kits i.e. cut and stitched specific to car so they car be put on whole with hog-nose clips or are they just slip on seat covers?

                      Because if they are the re-upholstery kit than that is a very very good price!

                        Yes, yes you do. Dark windows really help, as does a nice cool garage My car was actually relatively cool on the Stanwell Park summer run a couple of weeks ago, and that was sitting in direct sunlight. Besides all that, AC fixes everything

                        If I was buying a new car, I think leather would be the first box I ticked, even with kids...

                        If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                            I've found mine get bloody hot but then again I also have a dark coloured car so that just attracts the heat more anyway.

                            I really need to get my driver and passenger windows tinted though
