I thinking of flashing some cash and having my seats retrimmed and was just wondering is anyone here could shed some light on costs involved..
so anyone on here had a bench and seats retrimmed and not mind telling me how much it cost?

I don't really like leather so was thinking dark grey or grey bolsters etc.. and some kind of custom retro looking centres like a chequered pattern

Got a guy who re trims VW stuff he's good and on his own so keeps cost down but does take a while due to popularity he would need to see what you wanted doing for a price

When ive had prices in the past for full leather seat retrims they quoted me from £1200 to £1600. If its not leather your after you would be looking at around £800 I would think

Since its only fabric then sewing machine time, strip the seat undo all the stitching and trace out mark you sticking line and follow the lines **** paying £800

Have you ever tried stripping a Nova GSi seat? I have.. not easy at all. The cost is in the labour.
