Leather Seats

Just reading this thread with interest about a year ago i got my seats re trimmed on a Scirocco Storm by a local husband and wife team based in stevenage as they do all work for the local Aston Martin and some from Newport Pagnell ,, had a lovely DB9 in there when i was there , anyway found they was very good and had my seats perfect and spot on as they should be and all bolster replaced etc even fixed the tilt cables for the seats and for both front seats was 500 and was leather on back of seat to . They went by name of Leather Renovators and i only have there mob number now and its 07837561012 ,, they also repair head linning etc im sure if anyone is local and need seats restoring or re trimmed its worth giving them a call hope this helps someone regards mick
 
Unless... they were 911 seats, where Porsche used leather. Ive added this because a great number of 944s now will have non-original seats.
 
Interesting snippet and one I wasn't aware of. I'd actually hazard that as the use of real leather doesn't actually make the bolster much different to vinyl in use that vinyl is possibly better as it is harder wearing.
 
Fen, Quite correct. But the advantage of leather is that if the seat is worn and dirty, leather can be renovated with leather conditioner and hide food in a way that vinyl can't. Having looked closely at photos of the seats I am hoping to buy, they seem to have non-cloth inserts and the wear looks very much like it's leather - it has worn, rather than cracked, which is what vinyl tends to do. And the difference in grain between the leather front and vinyl back is fairly clear. Oli.
