Default Interior swap

Hi Guys,

First off, apologies if this is quite a common topic, I can imagine it is but the search button has broken for me! I tried a couple times but thought I might as well put up a post and say hello too as its my first post

Been looking for an S for the past couple of weeks and have fallen in love with the black ones especially those with red leather I kinda have a thing for black cars!

But finding a black one with red leather with my restrictive budget (<

It's not that easy, but it is doable. However, it could cost a lot (esp seats) so add the money to your budget for the car, and keep looking

Cheers guys

I'm not sure if the S (uk model atleast) comes with heated seats or anything? but even if it does I guess it'd just be a case of unplug the loom and re-plug into the new one anyway....

Anyone got any pics of the red leather against black carpet?

I don't think I've ever seen a black/ black S. All the black ones seem to have red (urgh) interior.

I'm pretty sure Nick Graves' is black/black.

I have black/red, but have installed black Muz mats to reduce the lariness

It took me 3 hours from start to finish, only using basic hand tools. It's a matter of removing the seats, plastic trim pieces and lifting the carpet. I did cheat a little and not bother to replace the carpet under the stereo as no one will ever see it.

Door cards are ridiculously easy, a few screws and poppers...that's it.

Oh, and watch out for the wires beneath the seats.

Cost me
