    I presume all focus's (focaii:confused:) from 2005 onwards have the same rails up to the latest ones. They should work for you!

    Hopefully don't wanna spend a small fortune on a set of them and found out that they don't fit!! I'm just trying to find someone that might know a bit about them!!

    Leather that ford do is crap anyway. That cheap perforated bonded leather.

    If you check the rails that would guarantee it.
    But as SG said they're crap so that's it then.

    You can get some carpenters to actually make leather seats for you if you give them the old cloth ones.
    Not too expensive either, I hear.

    Not sure about a carpenter but these guys would do it, http://trimtech.ie/

    Not sure if trim tech actually fit leather seats but this crowd will do a better job than anything Ford would do;

    Won't be cheap though.

    I thought maybe you meant carpet fitter and it was the mother of all typos!

    Yeah , I really like the Burr walnut seats , look great , but a bit hard! although they last forever.

    Ebay uk probably. I wouldnt get covers made. I would say youd get an interior for around 250stg and ship via parcelforce.
    The other option is sell it and get something with leather which would probably be less hassle.

    On a uk forum in on - someone posted up asking about a Uk spec Focus 1.6 Ghia saloon they were thinking about.

    Posted up the add - and the car had leather - couldn't believe how crap it looked.

    Looked like the cheapest leather possible in the pics :rolleyes:.

    Leather seats are nice looking and all but have a summer like we had this year and black ones are a friggin disaster added to that during the winter they are cold as fuk until the heater in them kicks in
