    Hi all, have cream leather interior, front heated and electric seats.

    Anyway I have managed to break the drivers seat, tried welding it, removing it, etc NO use.

    I now have a new identical black seat to replace it. Can anyone here recommend someone who can re upholster the black leather with the cream.

    As a matter of interest, what car is it. If its just a case of replacing the black leather with the original cream, then its not an impossibly difficult diy job. Mostly just clips etc that holds the cover on and refitting is just a reversal of removal. Best done indoors in the warmth, where the leather is softer and more pliable.

    Pat Whelan from Fibrenew in Cork can swap the trims over.

    I will start stripping the new seat tomorrow and see how I go, it's in the sitting room, the cold weather has put me off doing it. Car is Rover 75 conn se.
