Nice find!
Have to say the quality of the finish looks good, but some of the colour choices are... am.. questionable! :roll:

I couldn't begin to imagine the cost. Why don't you get a quote from them.... :lol: Would be interesting to know..!

I just rang them...

The cost of what you can see, in the pictures on their site....Wait for it....... £5000 Sterling.. :shock:

That aside, the guy I spoke to told me they had made up a full, black leather, set for someone who never collected them. He said they were selling them for £950. Still a bit on the expensive side, but REAL leather costs, I suppose.

Wow, for genuine leather that's not too shabby! They might knock a few quid off at a push I'd say?

That alone would be a lovely addition to any FTO since the seat trim is pretty much the worst thing about the car. But £5000 for the rest? Forget it.

Ring the freephone number on the site (I used skype) The guy I spoke to was very helpful. I'd say he'd cut you a deal if you're interested..Go for it... :D

Given that I still don't know for sure if my car's a write-off or not I'd say it would be folly to go handing over a grand for some trim ;)

For comparison purposes, I paid about €650 for full leather interior (+ leather for door cards) a couple of years ago...

I know lads in Poland who would do the same for half of that price in euros, 2000 if there`s more than 1 car. Adding about 1000 euro for a road trip (awsome btw, very close to Nurburgring :P ) that would give us 3000 euro.
You can spend the rest of your 5000 on pleasures :D .
Resuming:
- a week off
- about 5000km to do
- a day on Nurburgring
- German autobahns
- Polish wodka
- beautiful weather

A real deal for Mistu-maniac :smt003

Just give me some 5000 euro heheh

Polish lads eh.? Would that price include plastering the door cards, and fitting a sink and taps..? :lol:

yeah...Polish lads in Poland, and yes... I know it`s not irish way of thinking but you don`t need 4 so called "specialists" to do the above and pay them 4 times :)

btw... I remember Seb posted some pics of LHD FTO conversion a while ago with black/green trim of the whole interior - these are the same lads.
