Sandstone is my personal favourite. If you wnat it bad enough, then just buy it. Don't worry about the price too much if you can afford it. You could always try and bargain with the seller and see If you can get a few quid knocked off it.

That is one upgrade I would love to have. Full Sandstone interior instead of Smokestone

Stuff like that annoys me..

Just because you have seen a full interior at £70 before doesn't mean that's the going rate.

I think £250 is reasonable for absolutely everything. They've got a business to run as well and no doubt they'll be removing the interior.

You can't pick up a set of sandstone seats for less than 100 notes usually so why should you grab a full personal line interior for less than double that? Be a no brainer not to charge at least 200 which is what it's worth, condition dependant obviously.

Oh and for the record, I swapped my whole interior from smokestone to Neptune blue, and I found it a fun experience.

I done it all single handedly. I have had no previous experience. I just had a Haynes manual (used only for some trim removal references) and my tool kit, oh and a lot of patience. Worth it in the end. Looks stunning now.

I'm only 20 as well.. so it was a canny task for me.

Dont get upset, this is my individual take on it you have your view. To clarify I think about £100 for seats alone and £150 for full interior. You paid £160 for yours maybe you should have gave £250 for it.

I would have paid £250 if he had asked me to pay that. Worth every penny.

But of course, we all like our bargains, and if you can get one for cheaper than why not 😁

All a matter of personal taste, the dark personal line interiors look great in the darker cars (navy, hey, aubergine etc.) But when it comes to Moonstone, Sandstone leather is the perfect interior. (But I might be biased).

Very true.

Yeah I have a 2004 MK1 75 CDTI Connie SE in seafrost blue with serpents and Neptune blue interior

A 2003 MK1 ZT-T CDTI Auto in Typhoon with blue alcantara and door cards

And I recently bought my dad a 2004 75 CDTI Auto Tourer Connie SE in BRG with full sandstone and OEM premium bumper

And hopefully more to come too!

😁
