Reply to "new seats for my cat!"

I am in the interior design/decorating industry, so I had my longtime furniture upholsterer do the C4 seats. The rest was done by the auto upholsterer of the shop doing the engine, fuel injection, body work, and I've not met him. Any reasonably competent upholsterer should be able to do the work as there is nothing extraordinarily difficult to do, with maybe the exception of the dash. One thing that I am having corrected on the dash as a result of my experience with a leather dash on my XKR is that there isn't an adhesive on earth that will keep the leather buttoned down through excessive heat and cooling cycles. The leather must be anchored down with staples on the underside edge. Otherwise the leather wants to shrink up and creates air bubbles where the leather has disattached. Before the dash goes in next week, I have instructed them to put small staples through the leather into the fiberglass dash form to insure this doesn't happen.

Hopefully, by next weekend the interior will be fully installed, and I'll get photos of the finished product. I am anxious to sit in the C4 seats and see how I fit. I'm even more anxious to drive the damn thing.

Stay tuned!
