Hi LL,
I was lookling in the MGF model evolution section of the forum (http://www.the-t-bar.com/mgf-model-evolution) and this what is says about the Sunstorm:
2003
SunStorm LE
Based upon the TF 135 and 160 variants.
Limited production run of 500. Offered in three body colour options - Raven Black, Nightfire Red and Starlight Silver. The standard-fit body-coloured hardtop is complemented by a Smokestone coloured interior and Gunsmoke Alcantara/ black leather seats, leather steering wheel, 'Momo' leather and alloy gear knob and a single slot CD tuner. The specification includes a black hood, bright pack, 16" 11-spoke alloy wheels and MG/AP Racing disc brakes as part of standard specification sportspack 2, front fog lamps and body coloured electric door mirrors. The Sunstorm SE is available with a choice of engines with three power outputs 115, 135 or 160Ps.
So we know your seats are not standard but the 'Smokestone' plastic is quite rare so if it were me I'd be inclined to keep it. If you wanted to you could change the seats fairly cheaply to alcantara - there are several pairs on eBay from £80 upwards - which would restore your spec and possibly add value to your LE in the long run. Just a thought...
