justing,

If you are anywhere near the SW London/Surrey area, you are more than welcome to check out my interior.

I'm probably up at Donnington this weekend as well.



The leather is charcoal, and the light grey nubuck is perforated. No comments about the Momo seat belt thingy's which aren't in the car anymore!

Cheers
Andy

justing,

I've had both done now! My old UK MY97 car had a subaru leather kit installed by the previous owner.

My current UK MY99 has a custom leather and nubuck interior.

Subaru Leather kit - I didn't like it sagged, it was very slippy when going quickly round corners (despite the seats being the later bucket types) and it costs a lot of money through a dealer!

There seems to be no choice of grades of leather or many colours.

Nitosport Leather and Nubuck kit - Visually much better, dark grey leather with light grey nubuck. The nubuck is down the centre of the seats and on the door panels.

Nito has a variety of designs, and there are options with just leather, or a combination with nubuck, alcantra, fake alcantra as well as various grades of leather, and numerous colours!

Nito's contact deatils are here: http://www.nitosport.co.uk

Hope thsi helps
Andy

Hi mate

I had mine done as a dealer fit option. The leather isn't top quality but I haven't suffered from this 'slippery' syndrome. I remember from the brochure that you can get some fancy variations - light grey inserts on the seat panels etc.

If you want to have a look at my car just give me a shout.

Cheers
Kav

I've got a DBM and am now pissed that I wasn't made aware I could have more than one colour. I went for the slate grey whcih is nice but it needs some alternative colour to brighten it up as its a bit like grey overload.

Mine was a dealer option and the quality of the leather was good. However my car did get damaged whilst the refitted the seats and it needed to be resprayed on the drivers side sill.
