Post 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?

that seems steep! strip your seats down, paint the frames & recover using some ECAS jobs. That's gotta be the way forward...

Its not a bad job to recover them yourself if you buy good quality covers and new rubbers.

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! ;)
