I'm pretty certain its only the middle section that's leather John.

I had a feeling it would follow the general format of the interior John thanks but I wasn't sure so it's vinyl piping and sides just got to find the right colour leather now I have a couple of rear center arms but they aren't wide enough  |

Yes - Rover used vynil and plastic piping on the sides whereas Rolls Royce would have done the lot in the same leather that Rover used

I remember them Alan I liked them  I could do that design with the material I have but they wouldn't be correct  |

John, the answer is to get the nearest colour in the leather etc and then re-colour them to suit your interior colour.

I only have 2 options John that's one of them the other is Faux Leather and matching Vinyl both would look fine |

I have aquired a headrest from David Green to make templates and the headrests are ALL leather excluding the piping |

I reconnolised a pair of mulberry front headrests to buckskin about 15 years ago and the only place there was a slight reaction was on the piping -so I'd agree with the view that only the piping is not leather.
