Just trying to work out if these seats are all leather or if the centres are Alcantara (faux suede).

Alcantara

I owned a P6 V8 and it had an option of ambla seats in place of leather.

Ambla was stretch PVC, which was lower maintenance and aged better than that rubbish old fashioned leather!

Ah right I was trying to work out how to debobble them. From a bit of research on T'Internet it seems shaving them with a Bic razor (or similar) should work. Just got to redye the small area on the bolster which is in remarkably good condition!

and to answer the question - the grey panel is alcantara with leather side panels, less visible panels are PVC.

The little battery operated debobblers work well on the seats. No danger of chopping them up too.

Bobs debobbler is your best bet, I prayed £3-98 for mine & It made an excellent job of them. Even though it's needed repairing a couple of times, it's waded through any pobbled garment in my wardrobe & it made a pretty good job of the poodle up the village.

(no it didn't, I made that up).

First class! I bet it gets bloody cold when the wind blows from the north. Mind you I doubt it wanders far from a radiator.
