Gert has used them as says he was happy with the job

Kos recommends these guys

but after a week they haven't got back to me with a quote (and I chased) so it seems that an E30 may be beneath them or they cant be bothered about needing the work.
what sort of price have you been quoted ? whats the best fabric to have? i have been told of a company don trimmings in birmingham as well if any one has used them .

£550 I have been quoted by carhood.com, they say it takes about 5 hours to fit the replacement.
