IanG Dorset 0 Posted June 5, 2007 I asked a upholsterer today how much it would be to repare 2 areas on the passenger cloth seet. He thought there wasnt a lot of point to just repaire that damaged areas as the rest may come apart as it was being repared and he said £150 (A days work at £20 per hour ) for the all the bolsters to be replaced and the foam that has sagged to be re-shaped. This is way out of my budget and i just wanted to know what other people do in this situation? All the other seat as good. I dont realy like to bin things like this as the rest of it would be fine. Should i just try to get a decent condition replacement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted June 5, 2007 You can replace the bolsters yourself with good ones, there's a guide on the main website. Not alot else you can do with the cloth covers though. Could always replace them with half leathers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IanG Dorset 0 Posted June 5, 2007 There is a set of half leathers that i am looking at. If i was to get them i would still want to do some thing about cloth seet so i have a complete set to sell or make use of at some point but i will have a look at this guide.

Redtop 14 2 Cars Posted June 15, 2007 I got ripped off for getting my 2 seats reconditioned. Payed more than that for them. Got them died and some creases removed and all the bolsters fixed up. A good job but wasn't worth what I paid for them. They ain't new and I didn't want them to be as I wanted the car to be original as it does have 120000 miles on it. The ullpolster said he couldn't re-do the red stiching if he put new leather on which I didn't like the sound of. Here's a pic of the interier, and one of the car itself after a full de-swirl Unlucky that your boss done that to your car. He managed to damage the light the tailgate and the rear trim panel!
