Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the re-fit kits from Paddocks (or similar)? My drivers seat is getting pretty uncomfortable and I'm looking for an affordable fix. Thought this might be worth a go.
Happy to hear any feedback.
Thanks
Tony

I just recovered two seats with the Britpart trim kits from LRseries. Usually I avoid Britpart but these had good reviews and I think turned out pretty well. Only had one problem tearing the vinyl but that was my fault. You could do two seats in half a day I think but it's good to have a second pair of hands for clipping the base of the seat back together. Much more comfortable and around 50 pounds each plus postage to Australia.

cheers

JDNSW did a great write up a couple of years back about redoing his seats using a DIY kit.

I went with the much more expensive option (Scheel-mann).

Hi Tony,

The following thread has some info including #9 which I posted re Exmoor trim rebuild: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-chat/165536-seat-re-upholstery.html
