Leather bolster repair - Cost?

[d6dph]

As per title, Has anyone had the bolsters recovered and if so what was the cost?

I need to get the drivers side bolster done (both back and base parts on the door side)

Standard black leather with black piping if that makes any difference.

TIA

The best way I've found it to source a passengers seat and use the right hand side inner bolsters from that (which never cop any wear) on the drivers seat. Would need to be a coupe or saloon seat though as convertibles never had the piping.

Thats how I did mine and I found that it enables you to retain a factory look. I've not seen a leather bolster retrim yet that has matched the original seat. Fabric maybe but there are so many different grades of hide, it never seems to match perfectly, either looking completely wrong or at the very least, too new.

What's a sport seat going to cost? and how likely is it that I'll be able to find a single seat

I'm just having mine done mate. Having the bolster & seat side replaced for £30. I have removed them myself and taken the to local upholsterer to pattern and make. They are going to refit for me(I'm doing the labour of removing the seat for the re-fit) Also going to apply a £40 kit to restore & re-colour the rest of the leather to ensure a match.
