I'm thinking your in Canada, right?
Cause fist gen P5s where offered in leather but only state side.
you can take your car to a upolstery shop and get them to do the leather, or there are a few seatcover makers that do make aftermarket leather seat covers.
sory i dont have a link or know the name, but I've seen people on this forum that have them.

www.leatherseats.com - they sell Katzkin leather - I have seen the kit installed in a P5 and I can tell you they are top notch quality and fit. These were on a dealer P5 before the leather option was factory added in the US.

The kit costs about $700, and includes the four seats, plus leather inserts to replace the black pool-table felt in the door panels.

They also told me it is an absolutely great DIY project - comes with full instructions, and they have the P5 as one of the cars they believe a non-pro can easily install - if it was really hard, they'd direct you to an install center.

Tons of color options, too, and great customer service.

If I ever decide to make the leather upgrade, I'll go Katskin all the way.

My P5 has leather seats and it was an option from the dealer. Okay he farmed it out to one of his suppliers but it is leather. In fact I have been to the shop that did it for some touchup owrk and they do leather for many of the delaers, Toyota, Nissan etc.

I also asked for my original covers back (since I paid for them too) and I saw that the OEM ones are simple snap fit covers as were the leather ones.

I think my leather seats are called Autoskins so maybe this is the Canadian vesion of Katskins .
