Re: Had some bolster work done
I can't deny the difference in appearance from the new to the existing but this will blend in time.
The can of worms is well and truly opened though, as soon as I had it done I was looking at other parts to get renewed.
Blue inserts here.....blue inserts there.......new passenger bolster, armrest.......had to reign myself in.
I have been Gliptoning like crazy to bring the matte back to the existing, vast improvement.

Re: Had some bolster work done
Truth is the new leather isn't wearing much at all, which I guess is good news?
To be fair I'm not a pie lover and so they don't get much abuse, just getting in and out really.
I'll take a pic if you're really interested Dave.

Re: Had some bolster work done
I did but a while ago, most definitely it is cheaper to go to a trimmer.
