http://www.cartronics.net are highly recommended for this work. It is not cheap but I have seen their work and the quality is as if it was factory fitted. You will probably have to ring them for a quote but I would say anything between €1,000 and €2000 for decent leather.

The quote for my two front seats was €1600 from Cartronics, so I'm not sure €2K will cover the front and back. It'd be closer to €3K I'd imagine. Looks great when its done though.

how long does it take cartronics to do this?

Keep an eye out in breakers yard for leather interiors, i just recently upgrarded mine with genuine alfa romeo leather seats in nearly pristine condition for 500euro. Took a bit of searching and lots of patience ... took me about 3 months to find a set.

True, i did find them hard to get in ireland. I see them on ebay regularly in UK breakers but getting them shipped was expensive. Still, i would guess with shipping i would have got a set for about 600-700euro from ebay UK. Still better than the 1500 -2000 quoted above.

They look great, they are the momo leather's with the alfa logo's and they really add to the interior of the car. I love em, all the more so having fitted them myself. ok, fitting them is pretty easy, but there's nothing like the enjoyment fo the fruits of your own labour.

Cartronics will be around 3000 for front and back seats and door cards.

Couple years back i had a mk2 mondeo and i swapped the seats for leather. actuall ywon them on ebay and drove over to pick them up. all in worked out about the €1000 mark including travel expenses. the seats themselves were £350.
