[Claire7]

Hi everyone, i am just about to purchase a scond hand cc, and i wanted to have red interior, but the car i am buying doesnt have this! Can i purchase this after? If so does anyone know where and the cost?

Thanks

leather can only be fitted at the factory. another option is to get a place that does vehicle upholstery would could fit leather but have no idea on price - you would have to shop around.

simply - no

not unless you can find one in a wrecked one in a scrapyard.

Well can be done.
But i think it costs you a lot more than looking for a second hand CC with the black/red leather interior (if you mean all red, then you must have it done aftermarket).
Just look around for a car interior shop, or ask a local dealer for one. So you can get an estimate about the costs.

Let us know what you decided

Oh and welcome here! hope we could help you

another way is if anyone bought one with black/red leather and dont like it, and wanted all black, then you can meet up and swap seats and panels (i am not quite sure hows to swap steering wheel though??) ... take no more then an hour i would say. Anyone in AU interested in doing that give me a yell... i got all black leather and would like black/red

i am thinking of getting it done same as original black/red, but few problem that put me off. Door panels (on 206 cc they seem to be melted in), steering wheels and side airbags on the seats - will these "professional" do all those nice and tight? anyone here had all these done b4? i saw one done from cloth to leather (Wilsonson CC, former CC'er) and the line arround the side air bag isnt tight, and they zippers arround the 2 doughnut headrest... not impress!

I have been lead to believe that having leather doesn’t increase the PX value of a car. If I were PX'ing my 206 then I would consider swapping my interior for 500 pounds. Unfortunately I am not getting rid of my car, but why not put a wanted on the forum alternatively keep an eye out for a CC for sale with red and black leather. There is no harm in asking if someone would be prepared to swap n'sell there interior separately.

You could try breakers or salvage and give them the same offer. These sites often have mashed CC's.

thanks, that a good idea... i will keep an eye out for anyone who want to sell with black/red leather they woulnd mind getting a bit more $ . a swap with all black leather wouldnt decrease value i am sure.

as for wreckers, in AU 206cc still in its early days... none in wreckers yet though there were few auctions for a whole car wrecks.
