I am looking into getting a re-trim done on my interior, currently the car is in non factory fit velour with standard door cards. My local upholsterer suggested a leather supplier who offers an entire skin for £150, this is a general purpose leather and not a UV treated leather. He says that this is ok as it is the same leather as was used when these cars were built. My car will get limited use and lives in a garage.
Any view on if this is suitable?
Does anyone know if there where ever E9 cars factory produced with perforated leather for the sitting and back part of the seats and perhaps door cards? One of my modern cars had this drilled effect and it looks great and is less sticky if you don't use the air con on that hot UK summer day.
To do the entire car, door cards etc, I have been recommended 5 entire skins, this seems a lot to me. Anyone know how many is typical?
Thanks
