P.s They do have a bentley franchise but unsure how much of that was B.S. from sales man but It has been done to a good standard and Im particularly happy with the little headrest covers, had my fears they were only gonna do the seats for that price so was very surprised when door panels and headrests were done too.

That really does look nice, like the original 500 with the ribs along the length of the seat. The factory leather doesn't include the head rests.

Looks phenomenal! I take it these are the Lounge seats, only with leather upholstery?

The only thing that would worry is if they would interfere with the side airbags integrated in the seats?

Yip they are lounge seats, Thats was my worry too, If I got in a crash that my seats would inflate into a couch on me. and I get mangled hehe. Was told that the previous cloth material was stripped off before trimming so fingers crossed.

that's it ! having seen you'rs which look verrrry niiice if i dont buy a mito i'm having my seats re-trimmed probably like you'r's with the full length ribs but with white edge piping, i will probably ring carisma automotive (the garage from pimp my ride uk)for a price as they are ex bentley trimmers.

I know it isn't really their fault but I still just think poor Panda when I hear Carisma.

Hey Guys - I am in 'decision mode' ... well OK, I have made my decision but am kidding myself that I am going through the options in a sensible weighed up way - but I made my mind up as soon as I saw the 500 in the Fiat Flagship store in london a month or so ago. I currently have a SAAB 93 Aero (fast one) with leather seats. I am not planning to order them on the 500 Sport as they are *really* cold on cold mornings. The SAAB has seat heaters which are good but Fiat don't offer these. I am trading up to a 500 as I like small cars.

That's the one. He signed up here a while after. Apparently they near doubled the weight of the car and never touched the brakes!

That retrim looks lovely, I do like your headrest covers in particular.
