Anyone repaired there drivers seat?

Post by davers6 » Sat Sep 27, 2014 12:31 pm

Got a bit of wear on my drivers bolster new lower is £400 anyone done this? is it the leather part and the foam or is the foam separate? In a dilemma to either buy the new lower or buy an interior second hand swap the seat and sell on thanks in advance

I replaced everything instead with an independent company. Found that when I looked at the rear of the seats they had started to lift (bucket seat version) and there were other problems.

£400 will be just for the leather. I bought one a couple of years ago, but end up selling it as it's not a good colour match to the old leather (more grey than black). You could get the damaged section re-trimmed for less.
