Looking to retrim the centre's in Houndtooth to match the rear.
I have stripped the seats of the original material and have been quoted £355.00. What do think is this expensive or the going rate?.

I paid £200 3 years ago to have 4 Sport seat centre panels re-trimmed in cloth (cost of the cloth included).
A couple of months ago, I paid £600 to have a pair of Recaro's fully re-trimmed in leatherette, with the centre panels done in cloth that I supplied. All in, the cost for that job was nearly £750.
Hope this goes some way towards answering your question.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......
