Help with Touring rear sear re-trim...

I need my rear seats re-trimmed in Leather.

I have been quoted £250 to do this by B-Trim in Enfield.
However, they says they cannot exactly match the 'very thick' vertical
stitching that BMW used - it's very very thick thread on top the already
quite tough and vinyl-like leather BMW used on E30's.

Also, I'd like some reference images of any leather Touring seats to show
him as there are also some indentations that run down the leather too.

Finally, anyone had their rear Touring seats done and been very happy with the work?

All help welcome - would love some images and maybe names of alternative places that are known to do E30's?

I can PM you the number of a re-trimmer, based in Edmonton, near Enfield. He did the interior on my cabriolet, but might be able to help you with your stuff?

CustomX is no longer with us, although I'm sure he'll turn up again and again and again...
