Holy cow, what a job. Still not complete, but most now done with the help of a number of people for a number of hours. Just one pic at this stage.
Ordered from 'Leather-Seats' on US Ebay. They arrived (of course) from China. All leather, perforated inserts, and nicely stitched, however, they sent the wrong insert colour (I ordered light grey) but rather than go to the trouble to send them back and wait a further 4 weeks, I decided to fit them anyway.

One of the jobs you have to do yourself is cut out holes for headrests and switches. If you are not absolutely perfect, there will be some wrinkling. I'm hoping however, as the material is heated in the sun it will conform more. I was quoted $1,200.00 just to fit, so you can see why I didn't go down that path. Even then, there are no guarantees of a perfect fit.

I fitted similar ones to my old Soarer,use a heat gun to shrink them and gets out the wrinkles or just be patient and a few hot days will do the same thing.
