    Default Your Opinions invited please?

    Currently I have a half leather non-se spec interior but have the oppurtunity of purchasing the following:

    So the question is am I mad or do you think it would work?

    They wont be as supportive.... Missing the side bolsters.

    Anyway, whats wrong with half leathers?!

    Had leather in the omega, to be honest, I prefer the cloth in the zt for comfort. Less slippery and doenst show ware unlike leather and alcantaras i have seen. No heat though.

    Personally I have always hated the black leather and grubby gray piping of those particular 75 seats.

    If you can accept the loss of side support wait until a decent cream or better still BRG leather 75 interior comes along.

    I had the monogram Neptune trim in my 75 CDT but I don't think it would look right in my 260 now though.

    Nah wouldn't look right..

    Why not get your current seats re trimmed in a unique pattern? I quite fancied putting the pattern from the Rover 800 Vitesse / Rover 600 Ti seats in my 190... then i traded it in haha

    Thanks guys I think the outcome is a unanomous NO.

    To be honest I do like the half leather and cant fault them but was looking at the electric adjustment and heated element of the Leather set. Im not a particularly handy person so even if it is possible to turn my seats into heated/electrically adjustable set I would probably not even attempt it.
    I was hoping to add a few SE options and this was a cheap alternative even if it was using 75 leather seats.

    I just hope the seller is forgiving when I tell him I have changed my mind
