Leather Seat Conversion

[peugeot406rapier]

hello there everyone can anyone tell me exactly what i have to buy to convert my cloth interior 2000 X reg D9 Rapier 1.8 to leather i want a D9 leather interior as i prefer the pleated seats is there any extra wiring or ECUs i have to buy? i guessed the rear seats are a striaght swap i just want to know what extra work there is! also does anyone know what all this lot should cost roughly? and if i can get all this together to recoup some money does anyone know how much a mint condition black cloth rapier interior could fetch! and also...i was hoping to get cream leather does anyone know how it would look with the black dashboard and door cards and dark wood interior


Thanks

Martin

hope this helps you mate...



I'd be very interested in the whole interior.. do you have any pics?

i dont have any pics yet but its a standard rapier interior in MINT condition but im still in the first thought stage yet i need to wait until i get paid and see how much work is involved, i saw that picture from a car on ebay but i have black carpets and black door trims i photoshopped that picture to black capet and doors with black seat belts and i liked it, it was a nice contrast! once i know how much work is involved and if i decide to go ahead with it ill definatly let you know! :-)


Thanks

Yeah mate personally I don't like the cream carpets... Bmw's are the best at the cream on black look and they never use cream carpet either.

** If it ain't leather .. it should be black!**

When your closer to deciding PM me as i'm a real fan of the rapier interior.

i have done the same as what you are talking about mine is cream leather and black carpets and i think it looks good have a look at my pics on my topic called d9 interior and if you want to know how to wire them in have a look at my other topic called how to wire up a drivers seat that should give you some idea although i no longer have the wiring diagram due to my computer crashing hope this helps you make up your mind

Funnily enough I have the cream leather and am thinking of changing it for black

did u get the seats in? was there any problems with wiring etc? i'm thinking of doing this my self any tips would be great1

hello,

nah i didnt get around to doing it money is too tight and this heat wave even the cloth seats burn my arse so the leather would be worse i may do it later in the year or be lazy and just buy a executive or SRi or SE at some point i will definatly post up a really comprehensive how-to if i decide to do it
