As some of you may know, I've recently had the JCW front (full leather) seats fitted, which are awesome.

But, the rear seats are now starting to annoy me as they don't match and I now hate the silly swirly (Kaleido) pattern on them after getting used to the classy full leather in the front

So, I'd like to get the JCW rears in full leather too to match the fronts. But, I also want to get my brakes upgraded as I find them very dissappointing and I have little confidence in them when braking at speed.

The problem is I'd be putting the purchase on my 0% credit card, but I only have enough space left on it for one of the above

So, do I go for the sensible and safe option, and improve my car's braking by fitting a braking package (probably Lohen's LB2 package); or do I go for the probably silly option and get my seats done?

Whichever one I don't do, will be done in about 9 months time. I'm leaning towards the brakes, as if I need to rely on them at some point and the current brakes let me down, I certainly know I'd be wishing I went for the brakes instead of changing the look of the back seats (which rarely get used and/or looked at anyway).

But, I was wondering what everyone thinks I should do, as I'm often not level-headed and mature in such situations, and just buy on impulse

Thanks.
