you'd probably be better off looking for a good used set they normally go for around £400-£500
not sure of any trimmers up your way to be honest mate

Complete newly retrimmed set at £675, that is exchanging your old seats.

That's the way I would do it.

Go for an holiday with your car to Poland and they can do it for you 50% less of the price we are charging for the job here in Western Europe.... I have tought about taking the ferry over to Riga from Stockholm and see if they can do some cheap cosmetic job on my E32 like a sort out some few rust spots in the paint and also fresh up my old interior!

Another option is this....

Don't write it off because it is letherette, over half the seat in 99% of new cars use this these days anyway because it lasts longer and stays looking better for longer too.

A cheap upgrade.

Get a LPG conversion done while you're there as well.

chap on another forums thats done a lot of retrims and such, but not sure how much a full retrim would cost on an e30, but his email is sales@bespokeleathering.com always worth asking.

He is based around the Birmingham Area.

I'm getting my Recaro's re-trimmed in Alcantara on the bolsters, BMW striped cloth on the cushions and leatherette on the backs. It's costing me £750.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......
