Thats just a starter price........Reserve not met......i'd say they will be much more.

ASH is the man for this............he's been there, and done it.
He'll post here soon.
If i were to do it, I'd look to install myself one of these to keep my arse warm!

I have indeed retrimed my seats in leather. Not those ones as such so can't comment on the qaulity of them.
It isn't that hard of a job and if you do a search then i you will find a link that steve put up on how to do it.
It does take a while to do them though as there is about 40 hog rings on each seat to remove. I then replaced them with cable ties as it is a lot easier.
If you need any advice give me a shout

You can get electrically heated pants that would do the job with a lot less bother.

you could try these: http://www.ilmotorsport.de/shop/article_detail.php5?aid=484&oid=64&depth=2&page=0&count=5&PHPSESSID=b1f3b6f92e54f661b282ae07317fc658#

But it is known that people who constantly drive with heated seats on have 'bum' problems.

Now that looks way to complicated for me...think I'll stick to my thermals..cheers!

Hi,

I got some leathers and faux leather samples from that company in the UK and got prices also. I asked for discount and she said she would throw in a free handbrake and gearstick gaitor in matching leather to seat covers. Also they send CD showing you clearly how to put seat covers on ...handy.

Real leather seat covers £299 +45 P &P
2 tone leather seat covers £349 + 45 P&P
Faux leather seat covers £169 + 45 P&P
Faux leather 2 tone £199 + 45 p&P
£25 extra for piping


Bringing samples of leather with me to Roscommon in case anyone is interested.

I've been looking at improving the seats in my car, no amount of cleaning/swearing/praying seems to be doing the trick so far..... Who would you recommend as a source for new covers?

I found these, With the exchange rate they are about 350 Euros.I think I may go for it.

How much would customs duty be on those though? Shame there's none for the mk2.5. I'm thinking about just finding a second hand pair and fitting them. Loads on ebay.co.uk.
