You might as well get yourself on ebay and get bidding on some seats.

Here's my mates....its alot of leather though, hence the price. But if you've only got cards and seats then it'll be much much cheaper. I'll get a number if you want?

Ive bought a pair of new carbon Spoon seats that Im thinking of taking to my mates trimmer along with my dash and door cards (will have door cards and dash done light grey to look standardish...cant decide on seat colour though). I was thinking of Alcantara also but heard it wasnt very hard wearing?

A straight retrim in a medium quality leather with Alcantara centres, door inserts done and arm rest cover your be looking around the 1200-1500 mark.

The better the hide the more it's gonna cost, really a nappa hide is what your after, also bear in mind the foams will be shot so foam repairs or new foams will be needed and embroidery or embossing will put the price up also
