It's actually not that different a "tartan" to one of the cloth interiors offered on the original Audi Quattro (see if you can watch the episode of "Wheeler Dealers" where they buy and restore a Quattro). I was looking for a photo of that, as it does look quite chavvy, but then I found that customized interior on a more modern Audi A4...

2008 (E60 LCI) BMW 525i M-Sport, 3.0 litre Petrol. Carbonschwarz Metallic. Black Dakota Leather and Myrtlewood interior.

I remember when some of the sporty Mk2 Astras had a grey tartan effect trim - didn't look too bad on them.

they said it was because i didnt spray it evenly
i said WOT it doesnt matter if you spray 3 tins in 1 spot or 1 tin it should still stay soft :shock:

at 1st they was being a bit funny saying they will only refund me 2 tins untill i mentioned getting advice from consumer direct,
2 minutes on hold, the woman came back and said a full refund has been issued :mrgreen:
