Has anyone had there bolster repaired or re-trimmed... if so any before and after pics please

Mine has some slight wear to the inside and outside of the bolster - drivers seat...

Booked in to get it re-trimmed and all the leather treated to take the shine away..

Mine was done at dealer, just on bolster will take after pics

thanks ill post before and after pics once done.... it was the only negative bit about the car when i bought it two weeks ago...

Im just OCD when its comes to my cars so it has to be sorted ha..

Lets us know how you get on and of course tells us where you have it done.

Are you sure it's a retrim & not a repair? Not heard of someone doing a retrim on a small area like a bolster before, cool

I've seen some one done at a dealership bolster was replaced. Looked alright you only noticed if you knew what you where looking for...

As you can see my drivers seat was in a worn state.. both lower and upper bolster were shot...

Seat has had upper and lower bolster re-trim and re padded... some slack taken out of the base... im happy with the end result.. had to bare in mind that it will take a while for the new leather to look a bit worn against the old....

before and after pics

That looks a lot better, they look to have done a good job
Who did the repair for you & now much did they charge you if you don't mind me asking

yeah it looks so much better.. The only thing that let my car down when it was purchased tbh... i had it done at auto trim in Manchester £300..

looks very good - is there anywhere "daaan saaaatthh" thats good ? Most of the *well reviewed* retrimmers seem to be up north

how long did that work take ?

There are quite a few car interior specialist down south.. i dropped the car off sat 8am and had it back 2pm.....how bad is your wear... does it just need leather painting or re-trim

I'm getting an M3 done soon...from a main dealer in Essex Will take some before and after Piccys and let you know.

side bolster just needs painting (no actual damage just worn a bit)

thigh bolster is a bit shiny and a tiny bit of the stitching has worn away

bottom is a bit saggy (seat not mine!) and probably needs some slack taking out.

thats a very good turnaround 8am - 2pm ! I had days in mind (and having to send seat off somewhere)

Great work and great photos. Can we get details on who did the work and how much please? Mine are worn and the seat a bit saggy too.

yeah sure.... Auto-trim in manchester did the work £300 .. upper and lower bolster re-trim, upper and lower bolster re-padded also...Some slack taken out of the base....


this is how bad the bolster was and needed the re-trim.. A quick leather paint would not have done the job....
