Retrimming cloth seats in leather
Found Seat Surgeons in Surrey through this site - thanks for that! Managed to track down that they have a place in York (4 miles from my office), plus one in Redditch. Just had a chat with them. Interesting chaps. Seems they retrim for dealers. Going to go in and see them and see what a great service and a great deal they will do for me! Dealers were quoting me £1500 for a retrim. Looks like I may be able to knock a few quid off of the dealer price! My dealer isnt affiliated with them and so should be a smooth transaction. I was going to buy an SE model rather than an XS but the only extras that were an issue for me were the leather and xenons. I reckon that I can probably add both for some £1500 in total. Which is a big saving for me (ok might not be so great at resale time).
ooops meant to post this in the modifications section - sorry!

Having seen Duncster's leather seats, they did a great job. You don't get all the electric adjustment bits though, but still will make it easier to re-sell. Bodsys Brake Bible

They were really keen to get me in to see their work. That is so reassuring. I have a grey car so I think that black seats with grey stitching. Black piping.
