Default STi 8 seat bolster repair

After searching for a while for a drivers seat with good bolsters i had to eventually admit defeat...
So i decided to look at getting my seat repaired as the cloth was mint, it was just the bolster that was as flat as a witches tit !
I found Dave Tedstone as used by wheeler dealers on a porsche boxster and as Dave was pretty local i popped down for a quote.

So i had it done this morning and im well happy with the job, feels like a new seat with good support







Drive in drive out service that took about an hour and 15 minutes, fully undercover, they remove dismantle and refit seat....... £85 all in

Thanks mate, gotta say though my ar$e puckered up like a little snare drum when he took a knife to it and started slicing the damaged section out.... lol

Yep, I've had the same done on my wife's car at Thomas Kelly trimmers in Edinburgh cost £80. Had to leave the car with them overnight but well worth it for the money. I actually took the seat covers away with me and put them in the washing machine! Seats look like new.
