most companies charge a small fortune to do this job but is quite easy to do yourself just buy some spray adesive and similar fabric and your away

im sure you will fined something and its not as hard as you think ,the fabric i use is 15 pound a meter but i get it from my mate who has his own company and you cant tell the difference between alantara and the fabric he gets

so if you can get fabric that matches perfect for 15 pounds and glue is anything from 3 to 4 pounds your looking at 20 pounds diy but make sure you do them all the same way up as fabric has pyle

hope this helps

here's another pic

I'm liking the plastics re-trimmed. Is it cloth, or flocked?
