General Drivers seat cover repair by GiGi Upholstery

[Eltezz]

I have been steadily going through jobs on the 4x4 MJ I recently purchased and on the advice of @Bonefish Blues I travelled to see Gheorghe at GiGi Upholstery near Bicester to get my drivers seat repaired. The results speak for themselves and I can highly recommend him for any upholstery work, he is a true craftsman. I arrived at 9:00 this morning and the job was finished and the seat back in the car by midday. He added additional padding to re-shape the bolster as well - £150 all in.

Excellent, glad he's delivered for you too!

It's an unusual set-up he has, but he knows where everything is and emerges with just the right bit of leather to match - proper craftsman, as you say, and a nice bloke too.

Eh up

That looks great, I need mine doing as mine is the dark brown/ bronze colour and subject to UV degradation which has cracked the drivers bolster.

I’m looking to get driver and passenger retrimmed in a matching leather as my cars a keeper

I used to know a company in Shipley but think there gone now so looking for a recommendation around West Yorkshire

Looks great - and I suspect, real leather too (unlike the cloth-backed PVC that the original is made from)

The beige versions seem to crumble more easily?. Current 4x4 has green trim and so far that seems to have help up rather better.

Please do a review in the directory if not already done. It hopefully makes it easier to find and may give him some extra business. This woiuld be well deserved.

Ahh, OK. I was not aware such a thing existed but now I will do that. Thanks.
