Vp leather trim

[rallystripes]

Does anyone know where i can find pics of factory leather trim optioned to the VP?
Im curious to know if my seats are factory or redone by an upholsterer.

I have never seen a VP with factory leather. Don't think it was an option.

Maybey it was something the dealer did.I rang the original selling dealer and they did do a few things to my car but as it was so long ago,they cant say exactly what was done to which cars.
They put HSV bonnet and boot badges and who knows what else so maybey they redid the interior.

I've never even seen a HSV VP with leather. That said, it was an option on the VN SS Group A so who knows?

If you look at the SS options,it does say leather/velour. Lets see what turns up.

partial leather was about the best you could get untill vr/s as far as i know. it wouldnt suprise me if thats what they are considering its only 4 bolts and the seat is out...

i saw a full factory leather vp set bout 2 weeks ago
was gonna buy it but it was the wrong colour for me and it was a factory option

VP Calais' come out with optional factory partial-leather interior.

check out "levymetal" on this forum - his calais has (afaik) factory leather awesomness.

Just checked out his car and mine is near identical bar the colour.Ive got so many reciepts for this and that for my car from previous owners and if one got a full leather retrim,maybey 4K worth,im sure they would have kept the reciept.

Well,if thats the case,anyone else seen a VP SS Series2 with factory leather trim?

my calais has factory leather aswell and from lookin at the door skins behind the door cards theres the factory SS material on the trims and the door cards were trimmed in leather over the top.

So hard 2 find the tanned colour interior aswell.

I wrecked a VP Calais series II last year that had a full leather tanned interior except for the door cards, i didn't sell any of it but because it was in poor condition, sad sad panda..

I will have a check behind the door trim and see what i can see.

Actually, now you mention it, I'm pretty sure the VP Internationals had leather elements to their seats.

vp calais internationals have partial leather. leather on the sides of the seats, valour center of the seats and door cards. and leather wraped center console.

i have the factory options list for vp ss and there is no option for leather interior on it

[Pub247]

Post up a picture of front seats as i'd like to see the shape of them my feeling is they may be VN calais leather interior

The other option is if its a genuine HSV enhanced leather was done by them.

As you can see the door cards were done and no evidence at all of factory SS trim.Car has been verified as a genuine SS and did get an upgrade but not by HSV Melbourne.

Thanks everyone for the help so far and im really interested if anyone can id this trim.

I have option XT-8 for leather trim Leather trim which i found on another website.

that option code is for the whole range which means it may or may not apply to SS. On my list it shows no option for leather but does not mean you cant get it.

Nice interior you have i have not seen vp seat done like that before with 2 tone leather so to speak. I have seen full leather but in just one colour. or half velour /half leather.
