to be honest a lot of people don't want them - they're based on 8V GTI seats, so no adjustment for lumbar support on the drivers seat, plus you lose the split fold rear seat too.
Best bet is to look for an 8V GTI being broken up - surprisingly more of them had leather than the 16V!

If you do get a leather interior, make sure you get the specific door cards.
Most people don't realise that they had these.

I would be looking on the Bx club forum:
http://bxclub.co.uk/forum/index.php
More cars for sale on there than on here.
Not that you will want to hear this, but they have had 2 complete leather interiors for sale in the last 3 months, both now sold

there has been a leather interior on eBay on and off for the last few months, never sells though, have a searched through the 'completed auctions' lists and contact the seller through that.

I thought of that one Vanny.
From memory, was listed at £250 complete interior and then relisted at £150 with no door cards
Crap picture I seem to recall as well.
