Heya guys, i'm about to buy some Calibra front seats! The drivers seat has the typical small tear in it...not that i'm overly bothered, as any seat is an improvement on my baggy leather seat covers But is there anything i can do myself to repair the tear, or at least make it black so its not so obvious? Thanks for any help in advance!

If the tear is on the side of the seat it may just be a case of re stitching the leather together on the seam.Otherwise if the leather is torn,halfrauds do a leather repair kit which is very good.

How much would i be looking to pay for a pro to fix it? Would a garage fit the fronts for me? I just got some pretty much mint condition calibras for £35....bargain fronts backs and door trims

think a pro would cost about 80 to 100 quid and id fit the seats yourself.The fronts are held in with 4 bolts and a pre tensioner and very easy to do.The back and door cards are a bit harder.Look in FAQ for a how to on the seats.
