[OdinEidolon]

I'ts something like 250£!

Wow - that means she paid £500 for my SRi interior in total. I know it is rare but...

Well maybe she had some friends in the shipping business.
I've been quoted 250+£ by both Ade and some ebay seller.

Still unfeasible, and my lady wouldn't be too pleased by me taking one or two day just for a leather interior, when the cloth I have right now is in mint conditions! (apart from doorcards)

[Gary406]

well ive decided to keep my leathers...

reason is i have 3 kids that after only 2 days of owning my new d8 the grey cloth seats are almost black with feet marks .

my 3 year old decides to walk over seats to get out on the other side from were her chair is...

so leather seats = easy clean with my 3 little ones ... oh and i get my arm rest back

Yes... and coupé interiors go for even more. Fact is that here modifying a car is much more rare than it is in UK, apart from those ugly body mods to clios and similar.
Working on a car is generally mechanic-only stuff. The mentality is very different. Noone thinks of selling a car in pieces, they all bring them to the scrapper. And since this mentality is so radicated, many good pieces just go wasted in the bin. The result is that there is far less market for those products, less availability and more costs.
Also cars here are much more expensive. What you pay for a good 406 I pay for one without an engine (if I can find one), for example.
Also buying old used cars is much rarer. The transition tax for my 406 was around 400 punds for example, thus the used old car market ik killed: the tax is based on the power only and not on the age!
Also, a car is considered to be high-mileage at 80k miles, very high at 120k miles, and too high to be bought at 150k miles, close to his death.
Why? Because most people pay mechanics to do the stupid work on them and they make you pay much more than necessary ecen if not needed.
Moreover, most 120k miles car have passed two or three times from a dealer, and 90% of the dealers modify the mileage... so a 120k miles car is probably a 200k one.
This is because out MOT is every two years and there is no control whatsoever on the mileage, no records. Also most mechanics will offer you to pay 10 to 20% less if without receipt, avoiding taxes. So there is no proof of mileages most of the time.
Believe me, tax evasion is a plague here, is it calculated that annual tax evasion amounts to at least 250 billion pounds...

sorry for the long paper, I needed to say it!

You should save up some money, take a road trip over here (bring the family, call it a holiday in order to convince the Wifely Person), and mod your car to your heart's content
