lol

what sort of seat covers are they.........

leather, fabric, is the fabric got a repeated design on them?

Even without the give away sign of a burn in the seat, do you think your mother won't know you've been smoking in her car To a non smoker (if she is one) the slightest trace of cigarette smoke is very obvious.

Im 25 and i think buying a new seat is out of the question cause id have to get a mortgage for that! Lol! I think she knows that i smoke but in the car she probably does not. Also now it has a hole in the middle of the seat is a dead give away! Seat covers, thats sounds good but where do i get them! Halfords or something. Not leather just blackish fabric. Its a 08 Peugeot 207.

Tell her you had a particularly bad case of wind.

Don't you think she'll be a little suspicious if you bring her car home with seat covers? I'd go for the smart repair.

Irishmaster

Yeah seat covers now that i think of it is a little strange and suspicious. I might go try that repair site that was suggested. How much do you think it will cost? Just a tiny hole but a noticable one.

Halfords have a seat fabric repair kit, don't know good it is, but saw it for €6 seems a pretty comprehensive kit

Just thought id update this thread. Rang ASS and he happen to be in my area doing a different job so he said hed pop down and repair my burn mark also as he was working late. Said it would cost 55-65 but in the end charged me 40. Overall happy with his service and nice bloke. Mark is almost gone as he blended in the mark. Parents wont be killing me now! I would recommend them to anyone else!

25 and you worry your Mam will catch you smoking?:rolleyes::D

Think you were best off going for the repair at the price. A half decent set of seat covers would cost you that at the very least I'm sure. Think your mother must be more overbearing than mine though if your worried about her catching you smoking at 25 years of age!!;)

Irishmaster

I think its the fact that i was smoking in her car(which i shouldnt be) while she was away and burnt a hole in it that worried me. She knows i smoke but i would never smoke in front of her kind of thing! Lol. I know what yous mean! Anyway problem solved and looks 95% back to new. Seat covers would have been a bad idea as she is back next week and if she would have asked me why i have them on, i would have said "dont know!", then killed!

Good to hear. Out of interest, how exactly did he do it?

Irishmaster

Im not really sure, wasnt really looking at him. He had lots of miniature paints and enamals and blow dryer and stuff. Must have put in quick hardening plastics or something and blown dried it and then added some black paints or something. Didnt sow on new fabric or anything like it but it turned out well!

Owen

I don't do it, but I've seen it done. Basically there's a mixture of powder, dye and glue that gets put into the hole, and at the end a fine sprinkling of the powders coloured to match the size and weave of the fabric is applied on the top.

Sounds clever!
