Title: IS THERE ANY DEMAND FOR.......
Post by: Pete McCue on September 2, 2024, 15:51
Cloth interior?
When I can find a black leather interior in as good condition as my original cloth interior, I will swap it out. Obviously this will leave me with the original set to move on. would anyone here be interested?
The only defect I can see is a tiny bit of wear where the seatbelt rubs, bit silly that Toyota didn't fit a little wear pad there.

Anyone with a desire to hit the track will benefit from the lighter and more grippy cloth seats

Aye, I realise that, but thought it would be ok in the title strip.  :-[  ;)

A few years ago I couldn't give away an old cloth set having done the same upgrade you plan.  As @shnazzle says the track contingent might like them....

You can always swap the backs of seats to move that wear to the inner side of passenger!

Try the likes of Dick Sloan or J-Spec as both of them usually have a good stock of seats.

a wee trip up to them (t'other end of the country) they would maybe do a p/ex( + money their way), fit the swapped seats for you

I would estimate £200- £300 all in .....plus the cost of the trip, but you may be able to 'horse-trade' on any other items that you desire (eg replacement body parts like wings)
