Hey peeps,
Looking to repair the drivers seat which has the chequered pattern material as well as the grey material for the bolster.
I've found the chequered material on ebay for £150 a square meter which seems expensive but where can you get the grey bolster material?
Also are there any other options you guys know about,
Tried looking for a good condition second hand seat but as you can imagine they are rare if not imposible to find.

Hey Brutus,Sounds great,I am looking for the right hand drivers bolster in grey with the black side and the grey check seat and back to the seat or the check material.
Do you have these and how much would you sell them to me for ?
If you send me your email address I can send you the picture of the seat so you know which check design it is?
That would be amazing as it's the only thing letting the interior of the car down.

Cheers
