Look at LTT. Far superior compared to the likes of Glipitone but more expensive too.

The best leather is kept for audis so VW leather is pretty crap.  I know one forumite had more wear in his leather seats after 20k than on his bmw at 50k.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Who sells this? My Recaros are in pretty good nick for their age but I'm keen to keep them looking that way and i dont mind spending a few bob to do so - the leather in some of the cars I've looked at lately was shocking!
