Speak to Queby's of baldock, Hertfordshire!!

I have a sneaky suspicion that when they sell new cars they dont get there cars leathered by Subaru they use another company!!!

Thanks

I was told that no Impreza's are imported with leather, they're trimmed in the UK by contractors hired by the showroom.

I must say that all the scoobys I've seen with dealer fit leather looked pretty ghastly. It spoils the decent look of the original seats

dealer fit option at £1500 last time I
looked.

the dealer sends it to a third party trimmer.

You'd be wise to ask to see previous work.

One bonus is that you can pick bespoke colurs, designs normally.

I had mine done in Belgium (leather and a/c both for about £1700). Very pleased with the job done. (he was trying to get me to have grey inserts! Strange tastes these continentals. I went for black all round.

Had mine done as an optional extra. The work was done by sub-contractors approved by IM and I was over the moon with the finished job. Particularly useful when kids spill the remnants of a McDonald's strawberry milkshake everywhere and it does improve an otherwise cheap and crappy interior (IMHO)

Think the dealers use a company called Autoimage. Got leather in mine very nice and makes the cabin much better. With hindsight the slate grey is a bit dull and maybe something a bit more contrasting would have looked better. Saw a Scoob in sillver wiht a full red leather interior and looked great !!

Hello mate
The dealer (Fenny Compton near Banbury)arranged it pre-delivery so your local people ought to be able to do the same. Having said that, the firm they sub it to may not deal direct with Joe public. If they won't play ball, there's a good outfit based in Liverpool who always advertise in E&M and Top Marques.
The leather on my car cost £1350. I went for charcoal but there's a choice of 6 other colours. You can have different coloured panels and piping as well - suits you sir!
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers
Kav
