Best thing to do is go and look at the work of the upholsterers.

I had a problem when looking for an upholsterer this side of the water. A lot of people will say "O so & so is good, they did Joe Bloggs seats" and when you seen the work yourself it wasn't up to scratch. Maybe the guy knocked a few quid of it and the customer was chuffed but personally id rather pay a few more quid for a excellent job.

No matter what quote you get you will be well into 4 figures, better to pay £2000 for a good job than £1500 for average job imo but best of luck!

Pay a fiver to the fat hooker at the end of the road and seats will be covered for cheap - if you have problems finding the fat b*tch I am sure some one on the zone will be able to point you in the right direction

In the past I have been told Martrim are good, been the business along time and if you check there website the price of their leather is pretty decent.

Let me know how you get on...
