Just re trimmed the drivers seat with the above kit sourced locally. Watched
the you tube video a couple of times (part one and two) and went at it like a bull at a gate. 45 minutes later it looks like a brand new seat. Quite easy although a bit fiddly clipping the back rest together, but all said a one spanner rating for the mechanically minded. :D

Ive been considering doing this too. Did you replace the foam too?
Where did u get the kit from and how much?

Cheers

I did my S3 (it has Defender seats) and the whole kit, including all four vinyl retrim covers and foams for both seats was about GBP250 (+-$450) from Paddock in the UK including freight, which was more than the kits!
Still cheaper than the kits in Australia unfortunately, but they all come from Exmoor.
Great kits. All you have to buy is the spray on contact adhesive. I used the Sika product which works well.
Regards,

Phil.

Tech challange d here just go to youtube and search defender seat retrim should come up, even discovery retrim vids. Kit came complete with foam and all requirerments. Looks good finaly had no excuse not to fit my home made seat riserd as well. Seat looks great, well worth the money. Will attempt to upload picture tomorrow.
