Was looking at the skoda accessories do-dah tw other day and thought of you - they'll do the new VRS retrim as a retrofit for £1300 or do. Not sure how that compares to the cost of the option, or seat surgeons, etc but was interesting to see it can be done if you find tw car you want but it doesn't have leather......

Thanks, I'm not sure I'd bother with the cost of a re-trim, I'd just stick with the part leather/ alacantra that most seem to have.  I think the full leather option was something like £850.  How hard wearing is the alacantra and how easy is it to clean?

The yeovil dealer one has been sold sadly but there are a few others around, although they don't have Xenons, which I have decided i like the idea of (despite not having sat behind a pair!).  Not in any hurry.
