I’ll try and get a picture to you today Rob, if I can figure out
how to send one. When ordering the
290 st,I asked for full leather, but was told I couldn’t get it. It did however arrive with full leather seats . I know people on here have trouble with the Alcantara seats with the issue being the white material cracking/splitting on the sides of seats.
This was one of the reasons I ordered the full leather ,as I felt that material in the pictures I saw before I ordered, looked a bit flimsy. I also felt that it would be hard to clean. Glad I did now .
They are pretty hard wearing, I haven’t cleaned or treated in 3 years and are still in perfect condition. The pictures I saw of the seats before ordering didn’t do the car any justice , as when it arrived I was convinced they were a completely different seat. A Matt type finish rather than a shiny one. The leather looked a lot better in person and of higher quality. Maybe it was changed/ upgraded.They look in my opinion far better in the car than the ones with the white strips . The only downside from new I felt maybe they were a bit hard and the support could be better. The bucket seats I hear offer better support but the plastic backs I’m not sure about.
I’m ordering again in a few months time once Seat/
Cupra figure out what they are doing with the brand here in Ireland. Waiting on the Mk 1V to arrive. It will be the full leather again I feel!
