That looks absolutely great, and definitely a good choice to go with the red stitching. hmmm looks like they could do some nice extended leather with that quality of finish

It cosy be £120 in total but I did have my door card trim swapped from one door card to another due to a split in the arm rest. So id say £100 for the leather trim.

Im not 100% convinced, may go back black (trim) very soon

I must admit it does look better in the flesh. what is bothering me is on the centre console just in front of the gear stick is a small slit in the leather where they have cut it to fold it underneath, you cant really see it, its about would a mil but I know its there lol

It actually looks pretty neat but the whole cabin becomes even more sombre than before. This is especially for those cars that have black seats.

Sigh...looks like I will still stick with the original brushed alu trim...for now.

It looks really good

If you continue to have problems with the light switch area, and want me to look at it (i have the skivving tools), happy to do so.

For that price I think it's an amazing job even though you're not 100% happy with it.

Looks great value for money to me. I would live with it for a few weeks before pulling it back out, as I think it will grow on you.

That looks very very nice - hope the last bit fits.

I'd also be really interested in how you went about it etc

Yeah he could, I don't think it would be that much tbh, I thought about having mine done
