you'd probably be better off looking for a good used set they normally go for around £400-£500
not sure of any trimmers up your way to be honest mate

Complete newly retrimmed set at £675, that is exchanging your old seats.

That's the way I would do it.

Go for an holiday with your car to Poland and they can do it for you 50% less of the price we are charging for the job here in Western Europe.... I have tought about taking the ferry over to Riga from Stockholm and see if they can do some cheap cosmetic job on my E32 like a sort out some few rust spots in the paint and also fresh up my old interior!

Don't write it off because it is letherette, over half the seat in 99% of new cars use this these days anyway because it lasts longer and stays looking better for longer too.

A cheap upgrade.

Get a LPG conversion done while you're there as well.

chap on another forums thats done a lot of retrims and such, but not sure how much a full retrim would cost on an e30, but his email is sales@bespokeleathering.com always worth asking.

He is based around the Birmingham Area.

I'm getting my Recaro's re-trimmed in Alcantara on the bolsters, BMW striped cloth on the cushions and leatherette on the backs. It's costing me £750.
