I took my six's front seats to the local trim shop at Huddersfield and they did a great job. Sent a small bit of leather from under the seat so that the colour was original to a guy in London. Tale goes that he only comes in on Thursday afternoons to match the paint with the leather. Got mine just right so it was worth the wait. Super job, including a bit of new leather where the previous owner had forgotten to cut of his hip pocket button, and a bit of beading. Total cost around �160. That was about 5 or 6 years ago, so it will be a bit more now. Worth every penny.

Thanks for the advice. Have had a couple of quotes which range between �150 - 250, which dosn't sound to bad. The one at 250 includes redoing the piping which has some cracks in places.

Will wait till september as the car is going in with Hartlake on Thursday for a tune, tracking and airflow meter fix so have to arange my cashflow for the leather
