Alright heres me first post! i've just bought my first valver and am chuffed to bits with it even if its gonna cost me a fortune and its a bit tatty, but hey its an old car so let it be!haha!

what am hopin for is to shoehorn a full leather interior out of a renault 19 16v of a similar age as thats black leather rather than the bl**dy elephant grey stuff the clios are guilty of, but for the right price i'd settle for either. only problem is i aint got a clue where to get hold of one, neone suggest out? i've been tryin ebay for weeks to no avail, although theres one on at the mo out of a clio but he's askin like 350 notes, bit steep i think!

Cheers!

if ya get a 19 leather interior the front seats youll have no problem, but the back bench seat WILL need modifing to fit in the clio.

The back seats are a bit bulky and are a couple of inches higher than stnd and the rear bench does'nt fit as snugly as before.
