something like that would all depend on the quality of leather and quality of the work and price would vary accordingly, mate took his saab aero 9000 to a place round this way for a quote, and touched cloth when he got a price :)

In my experience this is one of those jobs that you really do get what you pay for.

I got Cobra seats in Telford (the race seat manufacturer) to do my M3 seats and the end result was fantastic.

I think they charged around £1700 (without the door cards) which is not cheap, but the end result was far beyond what I expected.

I'm sure there are cheaper options out there but my seats were done over two years ago now and they are still perfect.

Just depends on what you want I suppose at the end of the day, I intend on keeping the M3 for many years to come which is why I thought it was worth the money.

If they aren't 'ruined', patch them up if need be and respay them. Excellent results for a fraction of the cost.
