Hi Robin,

I totally agree that one is spot on :happy2:

Did Joe know it was for a MKV as that sample looks more like it is from an older version of the GTI. :confused:

£90 a metre is awfully steep though. For that you could buy leather or alcantara!
Golf R gone.

^^^^
A big thanx to TC, Greenouse, and those who with every good intention tried to help me by recommending Joe - Although I'm irritated I don't actually think he set out to con me and his upholstery work itself may be very good.

I've just got back from my upholstery guy and he will fit me in during June. Such a relief to source the genuine Mk5 Interlagos!!

....Well I did make it crystal clear it was for a Mk5 both in an email and on the phone.

My upholsterer couldn't believe that Joe wanted £90 per metre and described the sample as "absolute crap for seating!"

All's well that ends well - What a journey!

....It's not an issue and I'm already over my irritation. It just shows how important it is to get a sample before parting with money. I don't like to buy anything unseen unless I already know and trust the supplier. That's why I never use eBay.

....Doesn't going from Recaros to standard seats give him 'credits' on his modding tally? :evilgrin:

^ :jumpmove: I'm liking the way the red line in the cloth picks up with the red bodywork. And also the carbon vinyl is looking subtle rather than that high gloss black.
