Like the look of this seat. Would it be hard/expensive to make up Mondo?

The only real difference to the factory trim are the white piping and the white sections on the bolsters. Everything else is pretty much as Nissan intended.

 

For a pair trimmed in full leather throughout (unlike the factory seats) in a similar fashion to that, including the embroidery, I'd ask for around £650.

How well does the perforated leather wear on the inside of the bolsters?

Those perforated bits are fart-absorbers. :)

Perforated leather wears very nearly as well as a solid finish, Gaz - even though it's technically full of holes (which should weaken the hide), they're spaced at a sufficient distance so that there's no real weakening worth mentioning. :)

 

One interesting (if you're into this sort of thing) side-effect of having perforated leather is found when someone like me comes to retrim your seats. To help both the leather and the foam structure underneath wear well and last longer, the leather is usually backed with a thin layer of foam - usually 3mm or 6mm thick.

 

When I separate the leather from the foam when dismantling the existing seat covers, I always find that the top of the foam is covered in filthy little dots that correspond exactly with where the perforations were! So all the sweat and grime and muck off your clothes seeps through the perforations and stains the foam...

 

...gotta love the nice parts of my job, eh?! :lol:

Thankfully I read on Gaz - or else I'd have thought you might have meant that Spanish made car, which purports to be a VW substitute....:rofl:
