Okies, here's my opinion for what it's worth. And this is in no way an attempt for me to try and get more work or anything - this is simply my "professional" opinion :)

 

Synthetic leather never feels or really looks as good as real leather does. The properties between the two are very different and, because of those differences, any new seat covers made from the two will have different characteristics to each other.

 

Real leather wears much better than synthetic. It has a smell that is all it's own as well.

 

Now I've used synthetic leather in the past when a customer has specifically asked for it (usually to keep costs down) and one thing you can't really do to it is use any sort of heat on it. Cos it'll melt! Leather, on the other hand, can be subjected to some pretty extreme heat if need be (as long as it's been properly treated during manufacture) and heat is one of the major keys to ensuring a perfect fit and wrinkle-free finish at the end of a retrim. Without heat, there could well be some baggy panels or wrinkles.

 

So these synthetic covers will look good once they're fitted. But they might not necessarily look great. As a (fairly) cheap and cheerful way to breathe life into a tired old cockpit, they'll do the job no problem and at a price I can't match. But I wouldn't expect perfection by any means... or a long lifespan either.

 

That's my two cents, anyway.

Ok thanks for your advice. How much would you charge to do the front seats in leather with red stitching?

Full leather front seats with red topstitching would be £600 plus any associated delivery costs, Leeroy.

 

As I said: anyone looking to revamp the cabin "cheaply" could do a lot worse than the Exotik products. They'll just never look as good as a full leather, professionally fitted bespoke retrim, that's all.
