 car seat re-cover/repair
Today i took my seats to a auto trim repair place for a quote
!!!£575!!! thats 2 front seats and a rear
i got him down to £525 or £500 without diamond stiching
i said i was expecting to pay about £320 thats 80 quid a seat and i thought that was expensive!
finally he said the lowest price he could do was £450 so i told him where to go
does anyone within the club do seats?? or shall i just get seat covers and some new rubbers?

 Re: car seat re-cover/repair
that seems steep! strip your seats down, paint the frames & recover using some ECAS jobs. That's gotta be the way forward...

 Re: car seat re-cover/repair
Its not a bad job to recover them yourself if you buy good quality covers and new rubbers.

 Re: car seat re-cover/repair
Hmm, if your seats are knackered then I think the car could require too much work. I suggest you either try and get some given/delivered to your door via the forum or scrap it!
