I dont know about the stelers but there are at least 2 sets on e-bay at the moment. Im plowing through 1582 E30 related items and remember spotting them on the way through

If it's Jay, the guy who re-trims leather, then beware they are not mint, I asked him a couple of weeks ago if he had any in mint condition, I said to him they must not have any scratches etc, and he said don't bother if I'm looking for some that are mint!

I look through his stuff, and it says mint, just needs a clean etc. And it looks to me like it has wear patches etc on it. 8O Not very honest.

I have bought 2 side bolsters, and a middle section where you sit including the thigh extension for my sport seats in the touring, and they are in very good condition, so I can't complain about the guy, and he was also honest in telling me the seat backs were not mint, so I wouldn't have no complaints about using the guy again.
Bear in mind, also that I bought these bits from him outside of e-bay.

Simon, if you buy these parts, how do you get them fitted to your seats? How much does it cost to have a bolster sewn in place? Also do you go to car trimmers for it?

They are DIY'able just very fiddly, when I said bolster, I meant the material that covers it, I will be doing mine myself.
