With a cheesy title topic like that I know I deserve to get punched in the face, but it made a change from the usual 'please help me' titles, so cut me a some slack!

My question is to those of you with the full Punch leather, how is it wearing? Is it sagging? Are you glad you spent the extra money on it, or do you regret it and wish you had stuck to the half(if you can call it half!) leather?

Cheese indeed Kev

As the other thread it a lot of money i think £500+ as part of chilli pack for not a lot, the carbon rea half leather looks great too,not many come with full leather i think that says it all

Spend the money on
LSD
MFSW
Dab radio if you must

Got mine in January and I've now covered 11,000 miles and its practically as new and I've not treated it as yet... this thread has reminded me to get round to it!

I use the car practically everyday and there is no sign of wear apart from a few light creases that you will get with leather. I would order it again, IMO the half leather seats look kinda cheap.

Guess it depends what you want and how much cash you have to spend.... IMO the MFSW is a waste of money unless you really want cruise which I could never understand the need for.

If you really want them but your not sure they are worth the cash just consider that the JCW seats are more like £1800! Plus you only get two of those....

it might be more amusing, but not going to get all the answers from the right people as much as the correct title might, and it won't be as useful in future to those that have a similar question, as I am sure it won't be what they search for

I have full leather and I think it is great! I have 2002 MCs and there are very few signs of wear! It looks great still! I honestly say that I prefer it over the half leather and I would have full cloth if I couldn't get the full leather.

I agree that it is expensive and there are other cheaper options, but for me I would always get the full leather over anything else.

Vern I'm going to take your advice, stick to my orginal spec, and have the carbon half leather with the cream colour line.

I'm ticking the LSD box too!

Goodman cracking spec and colour might have been swayed from dark silver if i had seen Jappers running on black JCW 18"'s first!!!

As per other thread i upgraded to 17 flames, but maybe you should get them done black??
