I can't deny the difference in appearance from the new to the existing but this will blend in time.

The can of worms is well and truly opened though, as soon as I had it done I was looking at other parts to get renewed.

Blue inserts here.....blue inserts there.......new passenger bolster, armrest.......had to reign myself in.

I have been Gliptoning like crazy to bring the matte back to the existing, vast improvement.

Truth is the new leather isn't wearing much at all, which I guess is good news?

To be fair I'm not a pie lover and so they don't get much abuse, just getting in and out really.

I'll take a pic if you're really interested Dave.

Looks good.
Top and bottom replacement seat leathers from Audi are approximately £550 each.
Have you enquired?

I did but a while ago, most definitely it is cheaper to go to a trimmer.
