Sorry cant answer your question but if you can it would probably be cheaper buying a full set of leathers from ebay. Mine had the cloth ones in until the drivers side collapsed so my step brother, who had it at the time, put corbeux buckets in. I want the originals but the are like rocking horse s**t now

Ask them! Go to our traders' section, and fire off the question to Cotswold BMW. BMW don't sell a kit as such, but individual seat parts are available if there'e still any stock, or a fresh batch has been made.
If you go second hand, go for a passenger seat, as these are usually in far better condition overall, and what bolster wear there is will be on the other side.
