I keep seeing Cav leather advertised and must admit it looks smart (bar the obvious cold bum in winter and hot bum in summer
)
Anyone know which interior would fit straight into my hatchback without too much messing? (ie CDX or V6)
also how much abouts am i looking at, including the door cards???

Any NON IRS interior will swap over. Around £100 is average. For Dippy leather . Around £250 for turbo leather, but the rear seat won't fit straight in.

Recently there have been what appears to e decent leather going for approx £50-75 on eBay. (you can get a full interior in the cav to transport btw, I've done it a few times)
However, I would advise against leather unless your prepared to look after it, I will post some pcture of leather tht hasnt been well looked after tomorrow.

It all depends on how often you use your car and how often you are willing to treat it.

as for cold bums on a cold day, wire up the heated seats to enjoy warm bum on cold day
