Well like most GSI seats the bolster of mine has worn, can you buy new skins or is it a matter of having to get the seats re apolstered,

Thanks in advance..

I'd imagine its a reapolster(spelling) jobbie, but give your local Vauxhall dealers a bell, might be able to sort you out....

On my blue and grey SR seats, i had the worn side of the seat from the top (from headrest) down to the end of the bucket (not the bit round your legs) recovered. The guy had material almost identical to the orginal grey, so you'd hard'ly know it was ever covered. Plus it only cost me 15 euro, happy days.

That was handy enough then, Its the side bolster on my drivers seat thats worn and busted at the seam, id prob get the 2 front seats done to tidy er up, but if vauxhall sold a full seat skin id be tempted..

Wasn't bad at that sort of money mate.... Got my flush blanking panel for my boot lid. Lovely ABS plastic. Must get pics posted. Lovely piece of kit.

I did mine meself - bit of an arse and you need a mum whose a dab hand at sewing but its worth it.

:D

Alternatively - if theyre shagged use the chance to get some decent material - 1/2 leather alacantara and spend a couple hundred getting them done fully.
