Um, the leather section is the leather from the original seat Ian, my driver side bolster will look newer as I have replaced it with a new one.

Cheers for the comments, can't wait to Get stuck in to the next one!

I know, I meant the leather on yours looks better then the leather on these one's.

looks great! seen worse proffesional jobs, if you cut foam could you pad the cushions a little more to take the slight baginess away, thats all i can see wrong and thats nit picking
top job, cant wait to see the rest

To be fair Ritchy, they will settle a bit better once they have been sat on a little. Don't think I will ever get that fitted at factory finish.

I noticed when doing the base section that the material AND leather were stretched out of shape so had to do minor alterations to get things fitting properly.

It's by no means the perfect outcome but I'm proud of my efforts and, as much of a perfectionist as I am, I will love them in the car!!
