Has anyone changed the cloth on their Recaros, and is it a doddle/complete pig of a job?

Reason I ask, that trimming firm is selling loads of Sport seat swabs on Ebay, and I wondered if it would be a viable alternative to finding two new seats - my seats are fine, just the cloth is ripped.

It would also save me having to dispose of my own seats.

Cheers.

I've bought some seat parts from the guy too, haven't got around to doing them yet though, JonB has done a few, and he said though it's possible for anyone to do, it's just very fiddly, with lots of clips etc.

I would imagine it's easier than finding new seats though!

Done one of my bolsters... that was easy enough. The base / back would be a bit more fiddly to get at, but not hard :)

I've just bought seat back and bottom from the guy, decent condition, but more like light olive green in colour rather than the beige he said it was.
