I came across this as my mate has just bought one, but after being told he'd have to wait weeks for a leather upgrade he decided to approach a company in Rotherham to do one. I have had a look and am amazed at the quality and how well it goes with the car.

This got me thinking, how many other Scirocco owners would get a leather interior done 'aftermarket'?

I was planning too, but now have fallen in love with the cloth and don't want to change. I would rather get a profesional retrim than buy from the factory. The leather will be better also and cheaper!

Do you or does he have any pics to post please??

 

[gazzhop]

It's took me a while but here is a photo my mate got from the company in Rotherham.

That looks really sweet, if I had a Black car with cloth I'd be tempted to get leather in a darker Tan colour or even Red!

 

[Le_Savage]

sure does look like a nice job...

but if the company is in rotherham why a pic of a left hooker??

i think they have flipped the image if you are a potter you can pick up on the cup holder/handbreak relationship which is not like that on lhd

 

[gazzhop]

Apparently, you can choose the colour and style of the seats. My mate said he had a wide choice, but went with the black. He were going to get some sort of 'carbon fibre' leather.
He says the website is http://www.transformleather.co.uk

Well you lost me now :?

 

[penfold]

if it were a genuine lhd car the handbreak would be along side the drivers seat and not the cupholder, us brits get the thin end of the wedge

Looks good. One thought - what about the side airbags?
Normally when the bag fires the seat cover comes apart at the stitching (I know this after the side bag on my Passat went off "unexpectedly"). I just wonder if this needs to be considered when changing the cover.

After emailing their operations manager, he said -

All our leather upgrades are tested by MIRA and TUV for compatibility with side airbag deployment. Each [front] seat is design with a seam which breaks when the airbag is deployed, and doesn't hinder it's operation or life saving ability.

They seem to have thought of everything!

LOL.... I read a similar thread (maybe over there) on the same topic and someone stated that the picture had been 'flipped' and you could tell d/t the cup holder/handbrake position. Now I might be missign something but surely if the pic was flipped it would also flip the cup holder and handbrake in the same picture!!!! :? :? :?

 

[penfold]

its essentially a mirror/flip of what it should be, have a look at a genuine left hooker and its obvious :roll:

As I don't have a genuine left hooker that's not as easy as it sounds. But even so if the pic has been flipped surely the cup holders and hand brake would also flip... maybe I am having a senior moment or just being plain thick but I just don't get it as both the cup holder and handbrake seem to be set up for a left hooker, i.e. the HB is further away from the driver than the Cup Holders. All that aside why bother, as was stated a UK company showing an apparent left hooker, what's the point???

 

[TransformLeather]

I'm a representative of the company who is being discussed here. The photo was flipped due to our marketing material (it looked better with the seats facing the text etc.), and the car was returned to the customer before we could taken more photo's.

With that in mind, our factory can produce the leather upgrade for both LHD and RHD vehicles.

We are in the process of replacing the pictures as we are introducing different 'styles' of the Scirocco seats, as mentioned in our sponsors thread.

Once we have decided which designs to add to our portfolio, I will post in the sponsors thread and reply in this one.

Sorry for any confusion this image has caused, and it will be replaced once the concepts have been approved.

 

[Le_Savage]
