Noticed these on ebay, not sure of the quality but they seem to know what they are doing and im sure they are a lot cheaper than anything you can buy over here

Check out the shop, lots of other stuff

Its only for two front seats tho'. Add p&p and I'm not sure if I personally would bother, especially without seeing them first.

Better off just getting them done from local re-trimmer for that price

Great find Dan.

Says in the description that they offer rear seats too.

Am I missing anything, or could I effectively turn my is cloth sports seats into leather sports seats? Would I need anything else?

Yep you could indeed, I think the bolster foams are a separate purchase. They will even fit heated seat mats for a bargainous $125

Local re-trimmers? If you hadnt noticed most are just patch up bodge merchants, thats mine and a lot of people I know experience anyway.
Finding somebody that can do quality reproduction upholstery is very difficult.

Thats a good option. Was on the hunt for some decent black leather sports seats for the touring, this in the long run could be better option. Then just source some black leather touring seats for the rear.
