Currently have standard upholstered seats in the Scout, and am thinking of getting them retrimmed in leather.

I had leather in my Honda and I find it a lot easier to look after than cloth. I was thinking of having leather on the headrests and outer parts of the seat, but alcantar or similiar in the central section to try and minimise Cold Bum Syndrome on frosty mornings. After this summer, Burning Backside Syndrome is a distant memory! Has anyone had something similar? What were the costs, and who would you recommend and why?

As an aside, does anyone else suffer the following; most mornings when I get in the car, I have to adjust the main rear view mirror as I mostly get a nice view of the headlining! I take it this is the seat foam causing this?

Many thanks.

I would recommend Seat Surgeons in York who retrimmed my Fabia. You will need to ring and ask for a quote for what you want doing.

Ask for Paul, the boss

/\ What he said. They did my Fabia too. They don;t actually make the seats though - they're pre-manufactured elsewhere and they just fit them. Still looks the mutts though.

Wouldn't go back to full leather though now having half in the Octy. Warm and grippy centres and leather bolsters is a good combination. Found the Fabia seats easy to scuff, cold in winter, hot in summer and not as grippy on your bum round bends.

EDIT - their work

There made in China. Paul, the boss has a factory there.
