Calibra leather seats, already fitted in a corsa, a little rip on the drivers seat where they all go
Anyone any ideas what they would be worth?

Well if Nic Barnes was valuing them if would include the price of raising a cow for its leather and then ask the subsequent manufacturing costs so probably sitting on a nice pension fund there. Quite literally.

I paid £100 for a set, Only paid that because they were local though.
As the Christmas man above me said probably £50 if you were selling online.

About a fiver a wheel, judging by what I seem to be getting offered for an almost mint S2 RS Turbo rim or a set of MK I Fiesta Supersport wheels.

Seems the car and parts trade has gone down hill massively

Massively Chloe.
You used to be able to get a hundred quid for a tatty set of alloys. Just scrap value now.
That said, dead batteries used to be worth about 20-50p a pop. Now you get about four quid.

So does that mean the car comes with them?

Not really, just screams of jealousy and seeking attention.

I wouldn't say so personally. The problem will be that people just stick them on some random forums which limits the market massively, plus everybody on them wants something for nothing.
If you look on ebay at completed listings they still seem to fetch £100+ depending on condition.

Dont get leather as a material for seats generalyl either, ok I can accept theres a bit of a style element to it, but in terms of comfort, and holding you in etc, they are worse than normal fabric!
Same goes for everything though, like the better seating in the cinema you pay more, apart from the slight extra room, the standard seats are more comfy, than slipping around hard leather

Agreed. Leather is crap, but looks better than cloth in most cases.
Half leather is a good trade off imo.

Aye, half leather is good. Sat in my mate's Astra yesterday and while nice, the leather wasn't half slippy.
I was always a fan of these, but could easily suffer with a case of Recaro bollock when sat in it for too long but there you go
