Need leather seats

Hi people, picked up my GP 6 weeks ago after a 5 month wait. Everything is good apart from the cig lighter not working.
I have got every extra but couldn’t get leather seats because they were available at the time when I ordered. Does any one know were I can buy them and get them fitted I will also need the armrest.

Also has any one had the remap, if so what’s it like?

Re: Need leather seats

Its cool . Makes a hi pressure sucking noise and then when you back of the accelerator it sounds like a blow off vavle as the air gets blown back out through the filter . It wont need much cleaning anyway lol!. The power delivery its much smoooother too and and it revs nicely alot higher in the range too.

I can hear that without the k n N must be a lot louder with it on. I will get one but does it invalidate the warrinty.

Re: Need leather seats

Just don't let them know its on . Take it off before going to the dealer its not worth the hassle of them knowing to be honest. If the dealer knows they will invalidate warranty on the engines induction system, fuel intake system and head gaskets! and will try to pin any engine computer / ecu problem on the fact you have had a aftermarket filter fitted.
