Post by: Anonymous on July 17, 2003, 20:57
Has anyone got leather seats in red? What do they think of them?

I love them, specified them as one of my options when I bought the car, and IMO looks superb with my black '2.
Oh, and the Yanks cream themselves over them, as they can't get them over there!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

I agree with Slacey, on a black car they look great.  However if you had them on a red car, would probably look like you were a pimp  s;) ;) s;)

be aware tha the minesotta on slacet's and GSB's is pre 2003. The new red is more like an electric pink when you see it in the flesh.

I asked the question primarily because I'm concerned that they may show marks and/or wear 'n' tear more than black ones?

Mine, after a year and 17000 miles are mint - except for a few little scratches on the side, from those bloody rivets on one of my pairs of jeans!   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

At the end of the day, this engine does have a few problems.  It getting to hot doesn't help so I moved the plate and it DID (not scientific) run cooler in the hot weather.

And after we've had all those discussions about stick-ons and their legality - tsk some people never listen!!   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:    s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

Or just wanna be different!! good on ya...

I see you've also painted the dimpled bit at the front - at least I don't remember it being colour coded on my blue '2...  Never seen that before, looks better I reckon...
