Seen a very cheap interior in a rare colour I have been searching for. Only downsides are that it's filthy which isn't a problem as that's just elbow grease. But drivers side has two unsightly rips on the drivers bolsters both lower and the usual one.
Now I assume this will be repairable but at what cost and presuming that if they have to replace the panel it will be a differs texture (old vs new)

Anyone clued up on the repairs?

the dealership i work at have a company come and they replaced a full bolster panel for around 60 quid that includes them coming taking seat out and re-fitting it too, was a cracking job too could hardly tell once rest of seat had been leather fed/treated n some elbox grease as said, seat surgeons i think they were called

Rich can't do the rips.


I'm worried if I replace a panel it will lOok like a mew panel against an old panel which will be darker due to years of sun/dirt exposure. Reconditioning the lot is almost pointless as a Retrimmer would be a tad more but provide perfect results.
