i have searched around and i notice that a few members have had there cars retrimmed with leather, any idea of the cost of this and recomended places to do it
i am in the north west of england
my car is a MY96 WRX in silver it is the pre facelift one (if that matters)
any pics of interiors would be good
failing that would i be able to buy a wrecked cars interior
i love the look of the later cars seats 98 onwards, would these fit my car as it is an import
lot of questions i know
thanks guys

Will cost £1k + to retrim seats, door cards, etc.

I know of one company that specialise in trimming modified VWs, called MJ Interiors. Very nice work, examples can be found in most editions of Performance VW Magazine.

Almost forgot, Snappy Gaitors also do this kind of work. These guys have transformed car interiors and can retrim the entire interior for a very plush result (has been known to do the headlining). Top quality, he did my mates Golf (show car). Based in South of England.

Hi Magnum

I've got a MY94 but fitted a newer interior (bucket style seats, all door cards, small blue fleck pattern) from a MY98 into it and it has transformed it. A very worthwhile mod that I'm well happy with

I bought the new interior off the "for sale" forum here on Scoobynet so just keep a look out.

However, I believe the much later cars (with the different dash) don't fit as the front door cards are the wrong shape to meet the dash

HTH
