Just to confirm,

Re-trimming seats from cloth to leather won't make any difference as opposed to re-trimming battered existing leather seats..??

Correct...

However battered leather seats can be colonised depending on condition...This is still an expensive process but keeps the originality...if that is important...

Plus, re-trimming costs a hell of a lot more than a nice set of leather seats in good condition

BTW I have a nice set of Black Sports leather for sale winkeye

It has to be a custom re-trim as I am getting the whole lot done! (Centre Console/Dash etc.)

Thanks for the offer anyway though Dan ;)
