Default Heated leathers

As title, have been after some heated leathers for a while now but most on eBay seem to have rips in them.

I'm after a good condition set as I'm a bit OCD with keeping the car looking tidy

Not too fussed on colour preference so long as they're clean.

Thanks

Unfortunately I never had leathers. I have heated half leathers in mine. It's a shame really as they are immaculate but I've always wanted the leather despite several people saying the half leather is more comfortable...

I've had a look at a guide for it but it looks pretty messy and I'm not sure it would go back together as tidy as it should.

I like everything to look it's best on my car so I want a really tidy set lol.

I'm going to be looking a while I think..

Haha. There is already a guide up here and wouldn't want to put him through the trouble.

Would rather just get a tidy heated seat set with door cards for 'x' amount.

Can't seem to find any anywhere though.

I'm looking for a couple of odinary front leathers for mine and they are hard to come by Alex I might have to pay and get them redone someplace,I know on my old rover the heated elements were very easy too install.
