Mk2 re-upholstering?

[Satanstoenail]

Howdy, I'm new here, nice forum....

I'm in the process of getting my 92 GTI back to her former glory, and I'm just wondering if anyone here knows of anyone who re-does seat trim, and how much it might cost? My driver's seat is ripped pretty badly in a couple of places and it looks terrible. I've got standard seats with black/red/grey tartan, the same as this:



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I bought seat covers for my '86 from VW in 2001. It was already sewn and backed and was not very expensive.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, I was just asking in case anyone had had it done and could recommend anywhere in particular....

Hmmm, cheers for that, I might make some enquiries.
