   What do people think... worth buying? can get a white leather with green pattern interior for dirt cheap off a mate, heard they are quite rare. He wants £50 for the whole lot, a little rip about the size of a 2p coin in the drivers side on the bolster...
   
   Worth it or not?

   no mate, white leather, with a fabric green pattern, abit put off by thr green, but for that money and hearing that they are pretty sort after im thinking of buying, apparently they are a direct fit aswell, apart from the rear bench needs abit of work depending what year your saxo is.

   I think they are pretty ugly. Only thing I'd have off a Roland Garros is the red seatbelts.

   Yeh im not to keen on the green fabric, however was looking into getting it re-trimmed. For the sake of £50 if i didnt like them could always clean them up and hopefully make a profit.

   I got offered a full RG interior for £20 and declined it just because the green insert is so hideous

   yeh, as said above, the green is off putting. Was maybe looking into a re-trim, the missus is quite a magician with a sewing machine, so i might see what she can muscle up for me if all fails, a nice good clean up and back up for sale.

    apparently its quite hard to find them with the leather still white white, i was looking at some way back, and they go a really faded horrible creamy murky brown colour

    Thought you wanted me to get buckets lol. Reckon if you could retrim the green to alcantara, colour code it to the car and it would look pretty good.

    yeh no, wasnt going to put them in without a trying out a re-trim, that green really isnt appealing. Might try and go for a re-trim in black suede with the white leather.
