Default Replacement Seats

I have the usual driver seat bolster problem starting to happen and will probably need to do something about it for next summer.

The way I see it, there are only a few options..:-

1) Fix the existing ones

2) Source replacements from a breakers yard

3) Replace them with some shiny new aftermarket ones

Anyone done this or got any ideas on what would fit ?

If they still have the seats from the MCB they would look cool in a Silverstone... mmm with a Blue hood...

BLING!

One other option - take existing ones to a car upholsterer and get them refinished exactly how you want!

Mugen URL would be good as I am about mine!

Nice - but that is going to be serious money maybe even more than new OEM ones!

I've got lightweight Sparco's which are nice but if I had the chance again I'd probably go with a set of Brides & you can now buy the matching material for your door cards
