Looking for a front passenger door card that was fitted to leather interior cars i.e. all black - Steve, did you take a leather interior out of a scrapped one recently ?
Also, pair of black leather headrest - yes I know, rocking horse sh*t !!
Cheers,
John

Yes, Al has them (his car is in the for sale section). Speak to him about them, as they were spare. Personally, I'd rather have GLT door cards!

After seeing yours at the weekend Steve, I agree, GLT door cards all the way! I knew what you meant about keeping them, but didn't know if it would look ok, but it certainly does! The black vinyl that supposedly goes with the leather looks a tad cheap sadly.

have you thought about getting some from another (non 300) car?? there must be other cars with plainish head restraints that'd do (lets face it, you're gonna bodge em in anyways)

Could do. Mine look fairly stock though, to be fair.
cheers

Having seen a 700 leather rear head restraint today, I would think that would match the shape pretty well, so a good suggestion from Hugh on that front, as finding a set of leather seats is hard enough for a 300, let alone then robbing them of the head restraints.
Pete
BTW, Foggy's rear headrests do look very stock, good work on those, but a lot of hard work!

What a rip off the ebay ones were, there were some on earlier in the year with no interest so I picked them up for £1 + £1 postage

I have some GLT trim headrests that anyone can have for postage/delivery to a meet if re-trimming is order of the day?

Probably shouldn't mention I sew up my own kites... and MJ, good effort on becoming a student! £7 all in for a set of tailored headrest covers too expensive?!? Thats the way!
