In truth the bolsters weren't in too bad nick but in my quest for as close to mint as possible I thought I'd give them some love. Worth every penny in my opinion, they'll need wearing in but look great. The workmanship is really impressive, the only danger is that I have the taste for new leather now.

Re: Had some bolster work done
Yes looks a good job, apart from the price did you take the seat out ?
How long did it take them?
Cheers

Re: Had some bolster work done
Cheers, the seat was taken out for better access and the job was completed in 4 hours.
The guy who did it was very good and I think it shows in the stitching.

Re: Had some bolster work done
nice work but as its new leather the rest of the seat lets it down is it a huge expense to do the whole seat
but i suppose that opens up the can of worms and you end up re doing the whole interior
