Seats

dont suppose anyone knows of anywhere with uk beige leather in stock without having to buy the whole hide, need a piece big enough to repair drivers seat side support.

Dunk, just a thought, what about trying for a scrap UK cream seat and use a good section from that? Having said that, I don't suppose scrap UK cream seats are that easy to come by.

Sorry can't be of any more help, good luck anyway.

Thanks Barney, have tried the second hand seat route but cant find any, also didnt realise that the back seat is apparently not leather.
Been in touch with Gibson and Boyne who are getting back to me and also waiting for call back from toyota on new covers, think they might be very exspensive, or i can by a matched hide for ?300.

I wasn't aware the back part of the seat wasn't leather either http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif .Not sure how big the hide is, if big enough perhaps you could split the cost with another UK owner wanting to repair part of their seat(s)?

Hope it all works out for you in the end http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I'm pretty sure the back seats are leather in the UK spec. Its the Jap ones that have vinyl rear seats.

Try Pete Sharp on here, i'm sure he was selling his front seats....allways good to have spares if cheap enough:)

Thanks for the info chaps, Gibson and Boyne told me the rears are vinyl,
The probem is the rear and passenger seats are like new its only the drivers seat that needs just the side support looking at, just got a price of toyota for the back cover and guess how much ......... ?450 + vat just for the cover http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/shocked.gif

Dunk,

Have a look at this http://www.leatherseats.com/

I think the seat covers from LHD and RHD may well be the same

Thanks for your help guys, think im going to buy a hide matched to the existing leather, which my trim guy here can recover the whole drivers seat with.

I'm sure they can match it, i fancied getting my gear knob gaitor trimmed in the same cream leather as the seats, and also the door grabs....Think this would look good, not fancy it?

Think that would look good, have a look at Gibson and Boyne they have done a few mkiv's.

I was going to have it fully retrimmed in black leather with blue alcantara inserts but that will have to go on hold. This winters mod if ive got any money left.

just given the inside a damn good clean, think it came up pretty good apart from the part on drivers seat
