Who makes good interiors?
The 1997 90 v8 auto defender i'm hopefully going to buy this saturday has a tired interior due to 200,000KM of service so....

I was thinking these in half leather:

And matching tipups?

I'd like to get new door cards and a rear door card too, are they any other good utilitarian upgrades for the 90 I should consider?

Bear in mind my girl friend is an interior designer so she's going to disapprove of everything and already hates the idea of a defender....... but if I can make this defender a bit more woman friendly/comfortable/smart then i'd get allot less ear-ache.

I just fitted a LRI set of full leather (not part leather like the XS) in mine. Very pleased so far...

You need to call them because they also do a trade-in deal on your old seats Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

I've just fitted a full set of those half leather Exmoor seats in my 110 and am very pleased with them - excellent quality, very comfortable and look great. Seat heaters are great, but probably not required where you are! Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8

Lri from me too. I bought some seats last week that came amazingly quickly, had a little problem with one and that was resolved to my satisfaction equally quickly Thumbs Up I'll definately use them again.

These look great but not very comfortable, can anyone comment on whether they'll give me a numb ass: http://www.lrisolutions.co.uk/index.php/pr...yle-5.html

These don't look quite good but much more comfortable: http://www.lrisolutions.co.uk/index.php/ne...tdci.html#




Does anyone do door cards or nice little trick bits to smarten up an interior?

With regards to the Corbeau seats, i have them in my LR110, have a look on my profile and you can see them in there. They are a bit of an awkward thing to get into, but work well on short and long journeys and they recline fully, however you have to take out the whole seat if you want to get to the battery or something else.

I think that's the issue, they are nice but I will have to do quite a few KM so I think the comfey option is going to win-out.

Thanks for the FCX suggestion, i've sent them an PM Smile

Scheelman seats as supplied by Nakatanenga are worth considering. Look here

I've contacted twisted today as well who where very good, the guy from exmoor didn't really seem to listen to me in comparison which was frustrating.
