Well done with your choice it will look great.

I know you've made your mind already but let me just share what I have done.... I bought my Fabia 110 TDI PD with 78000 miles from SMA in Kinross for £875.00. I know that not a lot of people would even consider car auction but I have bought more than 5 cars this way and never, ever regretted it. Some rough spots on the body work but mechanically the car was perfect. I just sold it for a £1100.00 cash with 105 000 miles.... just saying. I am looking for the next one :D

Going this way of buying cars for the last 7 years I never lost any money. I get the car, drive the car for about a year, get my money out and go for the next one. With £1000.00 in your pocket today you get a lot at the auction.

Nice choice mate they will look pucka, if I ever found myself in the situation to get a retrim I would pick the same as you have.

Just be careful of what jeans you wear on that leather, I dont know about you but I'd be really scared of scratching the leather with any metal or zips on my clothing and I dont think I would let anyone else in my car for a while lol.

i think i like the stitching on the 2nd one around the sides but not sure if the centres is to much, i like the cenres on the first one. so maybe a mix of the 2? like the stitching from photo 2 but the centre and logo of photo 1?

I agree. A mixture of the two would be nice

thanks matty, its such a hard decision for the money involved, i want to get it right, i think a mix of the 2 would be nice

I agree. A mixture of the two would be nice

I agree dude, imo the vrs logo should be in the middle like oem

Agree also, design 1 with white stitching on the edges. If you can't have a mixture then I would just pick design 1.

Ha, you'll literally be getting exactly the same as me!

I'm going green double stitch on black leather. stitching pattern QA4P, which is the similar to the first picture, perforated squares, but double green stitching on all seems (and no bead round the back).

I'm getting mine on Tuesday so will post pics for you to see

your this tuesday coming mine is the following tuesday, just off the phone to paul, its set in stone, im getting a mix of the 2 above images.....cant wait!!!!

I very nearly went for that exact design. Looks very nice. I like the raised vRS logo, giving a large area of the diamond stitching. It' possibly OTT in a Fabia though.

Looks good with green stitching too...

HTH & good luck.

Keep it simple with the black and white stiches.

End of the day if you are re-selling you will want something that will actually sell and hold value. Unlike the read leather seats which I wouldn't give £5 for IMO.

These are the best IMO.

Simple, classy and suit the car. :thumbup:

Anything too wacky may put some people off buying the car later... and you might get bored with it yourself too.

If you want to be wacky and colourful just paint your face blue or something. It's cheaper and doesn't last as long.

These are the best IMO.

I agree. They are just like mine. I would have the same design again, although maybe in Nappa leather.
