Interior transformation! on the Monogram TF - Page 3

Thanks everyone for the compliments

we're both really pleased with it, looks like a completely different car on the inside.

Oh and the Cif was used for some plastic panels and metal bits of the seat frames, not on the leather

We used a leather cleaner and leather balm to clean the leather bits

Looks great but do something with that handbrake or she won't need you anymore

I was going to ask where the batteries go

It does look a bit iffy

Good news about the CIF, had me worried there for a minute. I've seen loads of leather ruined with inappropriate cleaning solutions so am happy that yours is fine

That must have been hard work changing all that over - does look absolutely brill

Yeah stuck with using leather cleaners for the seats just in case

Took about 2 days in all, wasnt too bad, had a very stubborn worn bolt on the drivers seat that took an hour to get out, and a couple other awkward bolts to get to but a lot easier than removing a dash on the 75

Did you sell or keep the old interior?

Dominic22 · 10th October 2016, 12:24

We have a Typhoon TF with the Typhoon Hard top and always thought off doing it but I could never find a set of seats in good-enough condition.

Maybe a winter job to do,

There is something about a cream interior that makes cars look more expensive isn't there

Loose the handbrake lever but otherwise that looks lovely and a vast improvement

The old interior is now on ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1622342396...84.m1555.l2649

Been told by many TF owners that apparently the old interior is pretty rare.

It is indeed, Mine is the blue black leather combination and searched for 18 months for a new drivers seat before I bit the bullet and repaired it myself.
