VY Leather seats: How much and where can I get them?

[jamesd]

I may be buying a VY II SS but it has cloth trim. Out of curiosity, how much and where could I buy some genuine SS leather seats?

check holden or a fabrication place?

Full factory re trim will cost you about $2,500

Blackman and sons - do retrims for GMH / HSV all the time, give them a call

And apparently much better quality leather too. Think their price is currently around $2,100 on new cars, so the dealer told me. Not in S.A. though, only Vic and NSW plus a rep in Qld. See http://www.blackman-and-sons.com.au/contact.html

Blackmans did the leather in our 25th Anniversary wagon as an option from Holden when new....$2000 from memory. Good quality but i think the leather in my SS was just as good. The drivers seat bolster is showing wear after 3 years!!!!

I think you have to ask for the better leather.
And pay a bit more.

The leather in my VT II R8, was good for three years, then started wearing bad by the fourth year.

It had 3 monthly treatments of leather conditioner when i bought it at 3 years, but i think it was too late.
guy i bought it from didnt even have tinted windows.

I have heard Schmitt leather is one of the best leathers you can buy.

Good luck
