Christopher's rescued car at PoL....

Polishes up nice doesn't she??

Today I cleaned up the rear of the leather seats I got at POL -the transformation is incredible! from grey to cream!!

See the fronts (still not done) compared to the rears (done!)

Lots still to do

Excellent interior choice, my copperleaf had same spec and suited the car perfectly!!!!!

Dare I say it, a set of MG7 lights on a copperleaf would look perfect.

Well today I checked behind the cup holders, fished around loads and it looks like there is no wiring for the heated seats

so I guess I need to make up a wiring harness - not impossible just takes more time! Does anyone know if it's possible to get a loom/harness of a scrapped car and plug in or is it too complicated??

On the plus side I think I found the wiring for the rear blind.

I have removed a loom from a car before, it is very, very hard. Cut wires everywhere and while I never fitted it to another car, I suspect it wouldn't have worked anyway.

Rich now you've got me worried - I took one out of my scrapper for Arctic.

It was a bit fiddly, just hope it worked when he installed it.

My car wasn't pre-wired for electric seats, so I searched for ages to get manual leather, and, to be honest, I found the velour to be a lot more comfortable. With your car being such low mileage, I suspect any leather seats will be far less fresh than the velour too.

The leather is handy in that it wipes clean, but that's about it.

Did you not have the loom under the seats ?
Mine were very well hidden behind the cup-holders, stuffed down next to the side panel.
