I know I've said this before but wouldn't it just be easier to change the car??

I'm not having a go, but I can't see the logic behind spending £650+ on re-trimmed seats when ultimately it's not going to add anything to the re-sale value for a car that is basically a high personal-stylised 1.4
How about having some decent covers made..? one company comes on eBay advertising covers for the panda ..with a little bit of investigation work I came up with who they are..

Give them a bell or drop them an email..hell they even do leather if you like the lara croft look..

so what.. have a golf with everything done.. would that stand out? no
i want something no-one else has.. and thats what i will have.
im not worried about the resale value.. because i'm not selling it at the moment.

Coyle, as i said I wasn't having a pop - and if my reply came across like one then I apologise - it's just that I don't see the logic on spending more money than the car is currently work, when you can use that money to get something better? It's probably just me and an age thing.
Post 6 coyle you could take those off to wash if they get a bit jizzy..
I know you werent mate, i dint take it that way either
I know what your saying though, but no point selling up now, its gonna loose me too much, i'll just keep it and enjoy it

cool
I know this sounds daft but she does alterations to clothing
but her husband re trims car seats. There is another guy
I know but he's on the ABS forum lives in York but has just
been made redundant. I could pm him and see if he's able
to do anything.
You'd have to assess their work yourself by asking if they
have customers who are willing to let you see the quality
of their work.

yer pm that guy for me, if he's looking for work he may do it at a decent price for me.
i want a good job, but dont want to spend thousands
Just checked with the guy in York he doesn't
do them himself now but the company he worked
for was www.theseatsurgeons.com
