I need to buy original alcantara seat covers, in good condition. I live in Brazil, and there are only 5 remaining GTI6s in Brazil, from the 7 Peugeot imported. I dont need shipping to Brazil. Very difficult to source Gti specific parts here.

Lucky enough you have one of those 7 originally imported! Original seat covers are officially NLA through Peugeot. I would not get used ones as the original alcantara wears very fast. It would probably be better if you found a good saddler (is that the correct word btw?) who would retrim your seat to original look with good quality material.

Miki4,

Nice tip about those fast-wearing alcantara covers. Will look into other alternatives! Tks

Pug_306,

Yes, Iknow him ! Met this guy months ago, at a classic cars dealer, where I was selling my old 306 Cabriolet 2.0i, 1995. He has a very tidy black GTI-6.

I think its great that these cars have been exported around the world. Your's in Brazil will still be around in twenty years from now....long after all of ours have turned back to iron oxide!

Alcon,
The problem is that Peugeot brought so few of the nice models to Brazil... there is only one 405 T16 here, no more than 10 surviving 405 Mi16, less than 100 306 S16, less than 5 205 GTI 1.9, very few 406 coupe with V6 engine and manual transmission, and thats it... no cool 206s, 307, etc... for guys that like french cars, like me, very few options and crazy prices...
