Hiya, newbie here just bought myself a 2.6 elite, very happy with the car  
however the needs a little attention to this end I have found a complete leather
interior from a pre faclift model.  

My question is, will it fit my car???.

thanks in advance

Probably not,
I doubt if it would have seat airbags.

What year is your car, and what year did the leather come from. It should fit but if it has not got side impact air bags, and your car has, then the insurance co might be a problem. Wiring is no big deal but the air bag issue might.

seats will fit not the door cards !! and airbags dont matter that much not even part of mot

But will bring on airbag light (though is a work around), but most importanly, you need to check if insurance still valid (you are, after all, removing important sfety features from the car)

Very important, I found out a few months ago that even if you put alloys on the car you must inform the insurance, not for theft reasons, but the wheels are classed as a modification.

If an insurance company is faced with an expensive claim they will do anything they can to wriggle out of it.  They'll say nothing until you have to make that claim, and hopefully you won't, but if they get an inspector crawling over a wreck and find airbags disabled it's exactly the excuse they need to leave you high and dry.
