Default Seat squab retrim?

So every time I go swiftly around a corner I find myself slipping around on the leather seat, is there a way to retrim the centre parts of the seat in alcantra or similar to get a bit more arse grip?

Have the bolsters gone soft? Mine holds me quite well.

JDM models have a fabric centre, try and have a look on ebay! Sell yours on after, you may just make a profit!

CG Lock would help, you can make it as tight as like

CG LOCK

And stop polishing your seat

I think that ideally I'd like the center parts of the seats retrimmed in a red/burgundy alcantra type material for the looks too.
Can the seat squab (?terminology) be removed easily enough to be retrimmed?
Am considering a CG lock too.
Or if anyone knows of some JDM red seats with a fabric centre for sale then please let me know!

A bad picture but I have these from my year 2000 import only done 38,000 miles I have put blue leather in mine. They are in very good condition no rips etc and are meant to be lighter than the UK seats. £150 plus delivery if you are interested.
