u could check Traynors before doing anything. You may just get good condition original leather for reasonable price.

Smithers

yeah , will check traynors tomorrow,

Franknfurter - what did u get done and how much was it?

I would imagine that getting car seats upholstered (or re-upholstered) in leather would be extremely expensive - I'd guess well over a grand. As already mentioned you'd be better off trying a dismantlers and seeing if they will sell you a complete leather interior. This is assumiong your model of car was originally available with a leather interior which most cars (except luxury cars) are not.

Considering getting leather seats for my 94 corolla 20 valve. Rang this place, 01 6778247, lady was very helpful, said for normal corolla would be about 450 euro. Bit more for mine, due to Recaro shape seats. Gonna drop into them to get price.

They're not using leather if its costing €450.

Probably not...though it's worth mentioning that you won't be getting full real leather even if you buy OEM.;):)

to get it done PROPERLY, budget just short of €2k

To be fair if you've going to using sports seats you might need more grip then a a leather seat gives you. Maybe use Alcantara (sp?) instead? More hard wearing too.

Just buy leather trousers OP!!

Seriously though, I'd look into buying leather seats from a breakers yard/crashed car. I reckon it'd be cheaper and the finish would be better.

Spending 2k to put leather into a 94 corolla :eek: The seats will be worth more than the car
