[W126 Coupe] Seat Leather

[Shayegan, Richard]

Hmmm, well this was about a year and a half ago, for Palomino, for an
SE. But $770/side for just the bottom? Maybe the special prices my
dealer gives me really are special.

Just looked it up in the EPC/MB Pricelist, only gray and brazil are
available for the 560 Coupes..  My price list is about 6 months old @
this point and the seat bottom lists for 770/per side.  The back rests
are listing for 870 a side. 

Chances are that these prices are a bit on the low side..I can verify as
much come Monday.

	I was told $400/seat and yes it would have to come from Germany.
Good to know there are sources though in case they have/when they do run
out.

	Well, seeing as Mercedes leather is now Very thin I doubt they
would still be providing this leather in it's original 2+mm thickness.
GAHH is exactly to original factory specs.  MB will also charge you a
bloody arm and a leg if it's still available..I'd also wager colours are
going to be coming up NLA especially for anything out of the ordinary.
If they do have this stuff available I can guarantee it's all going to
have to come from Germany..so figure 1-2 weeks wait @ the minimum..
GAHH usually has the items ready to go in stock..if not it's just a
couple of days wait.

		Is there a benefit to using GAHH ver factory? Last I
heard (about 1.5 years ago) the dealers could still get them.

		Well, if you have had experience w/ interior work before
I'd say yes...the biggest thing is Time..it takes a good bit of that
(along w/ a hair dryer) to get everything to fit just how you want it..
That and hog nose pliers take a bit of getting used too.
