Those charcoal skins are living at my house while that car gets engine work done. Still looking good. I’ll get owners permission and send pix

Skins work on all P80s from1992?_2000

You can swap passenger to driver side with minor surgery to side leather.

We've about reached the end of the useful life on the tan leather seats on our '97 and I need to replace the seat heaters too, so I'm thinking of tackling the seat leather replacement job. Thanks.

Got too many repairs going on but will try this on the 03 S80 T6 in a bit. He said in the end it will not come off on your clothes which makes since as it is leather paint.

Evan, you went for Black Angus. I would have gone for Holstein to break up the monotony. ;-)

My V70 came to me having had the light color leather (Is it Oak?) and just the bolster replaced. The color match is darn close. Hard to see.
