I'm looking for some new recliners for my car. I want them to be trimmed in green and cream leather, however I cannot for the life of me find anyone who does them like that.
I was wndering how much people have payed to have thier seats (just the from two) trimmed in leather and who did the work... I'm considering buing some cheap second had seats and geting them trimmed up, as I guess Cobra could do he seats, but they would charge millions!

Buy some cally leathers mate, strip off the material, lay it out flat and use it as a template to cut out new leather (which you can buy per square metre) and stitch it all back together... could take a while, but it'd be cheaper, and you could do it on those quiet nights in

Is that how mummy CorsAsh did yours? Was considering doing that with some Calibra seats, could presuade the grandmother to do it for me, I am slightly useless when it comes to sewing on a sewing machine...

Yes, mummy CorsAsh used that method to do the rear seats in mine 
If you follow the old material exactly you cant go wrong

The local material shop does leather and vinyl very cheap... Could be worth an attempt at least... It just needs to be as close to perfection as possible really.
I could even keep the buckets I have at the moment as I was hoping to use harnesses
