I had my interior done there and the result is great. Would definitely recommend!

Plus got a lift to the National Railway Museum whilst my seats were being done to spend the day in York.

Bump.


Ball park prices for the Seat Surgeons and the ‘usual’ bolster replacement?
And what did you place the worn for angels with ??

Seat Surgeons may repair just a bolster but I believe most people go for an entire re-trim as they make the seat covers off-site and then finish and fit them on-site. Prices depend on the type of material: false leather, a mix, standard or nappa leather. All prices are stated on the website for an MX-5 in the different materials.

Cheers - I'm talking of an elderly NA MX5, cloth seats.
I'm not adverse to a re-trim, but with the hope of keeping it similar to original and all other aspects of the seats are fine.

The side bolsters seat and back are renowned for wearing through. I've already swapped seats 10 years ago on the 20 year old car (not matching numbers seats ? yikeswink )
