Leather repair/restoration in London

[twenty]

Hi everyone,
Picking up a 325i cab tomorrow hopefully (wish me luck).

It has a beige leather interior, which generally in okay condition, however the driver’s seat is ripped as usual.

Have been recommended Colour Glo who have quoted around 700 for full restoration including door cards.

Just wanted to know if that’s a fair price and also anyone else I should get quote from in/around London before proceeding?

Many thanks.

B-Trim have been trimming BMW seats for decades, they did some repair work on my M3 back in the 90s and I couldn't fault it. They are not cheap but good work never is.

They are top of a quite short list when it comes to get the Recaros re-done.

Dunno if these guys product is any good - comments look OK - there's also a youtube dude showing the fitting process. Pity there's no Indigo for me.

I did come across seat covers - they are okay but if you have OCD like me, I suspect you couldn't live with them.

Since my post, I've found two other places in London that came in highly recommended. Beyond Leather in Muswell Hill (10 minutes away from me) and Auto Leather Interiors in Tottenham. The latter quotedme £1500 for all seats re-trimmed, a price I thought was very reasonable for London.
