Leather interior

[Willow the wasp]

Hi, anybody replaced seats with leather, pitfalls, any problems?

[flash22]

there was a company that did retro fit cars when new, factory leather is ultra rare on the IQ, then Cygnet is on another level

 I am trying to source an IQ with leather. Or source the seats to put into my IQ. Where do you get them from?

[Dutchrav]

Maybe from car dismantler of car wrecker yard?

iirc the company that did the retrofits is/was Transcal

Thanks I have emailed them, I am prepared to spend the money as I have a nice 61 plate IQ2 with low mileage and the cream interior so want to bring it up as much as I can.I don't think I will ever sell it.

I have sourced a full leather interior... by a motor parts shop. Nearly new condition, £600 cash collection. It is 90 mins drive so I am tempted to say yes, and arrange for a local mechanic to install.

Am I mad - this seems like a good price? Also how easy / long to install seats generally - no more than 2 hours I presume?

That is not a bad price a trim would be around £2200-2500 fitted as  a guestimate
