    LEATHER SEATS

     I have been quoted by a well respected local firm a price of £400 to manufacture and fit leather seat covers to my 2.5 which has at the moment two fabric seats in very good condition,I just wondered what anyone thinks re price quoted for this job or any other suggestions.Thinking

    I paid £450 over 2 years ago, but I was quoted £850 at another place. I'm sure you need to check quality as well as cost.

    Buy some used  heated leather seats from "junkyard dog" or another breaker for about £350.  You can inspect before you buy.  That's what we did.

    Seems a reasonable price for good quality workmanship. It's very highly skilled work.

    Seems ballpark.  I've been considering this for quite some time :

    As suggested you would want to actually see examples first-hand.
