leather
« on: 08 July 2016, 20:11:56 »

Has anybody got any clever ideas to get rid of the slippy leather on my car seats. Need to stop my arse slipping about on corners or hard braking. Bloody dangerous >:(

The problem with cloth seats is that apart from being entirely the wrong material for a proper cars seats the Vx fabrics have been universally dire since at least 1987!

Problem is, the cars look so much classier with leather, but cloth seats are more practical in summer, winter and when going round corners.
I still prefer leather as I'm a tart and a poser.  :D

Can you still get those pinnacle-of-chic fashion statements of a few decades ago, the beaded backrests?  8) 8) 8)

Anyone who has had an Elite with cloth seats will know they are by far the most comfortable of all the Omega seats produced. Very soft, yet supportive.  Cool in summer, warm in winter.

Next best I think is MV6 cloth, thought these are quite firm (but not uncomfortable).
