   Bought some front seats for my car but now need to re-trim the back seats and the door cards.
   Was gonna get a few quotes so does anyone have an idea of how much? its in black leather btw. if its gonna be too expensive i might have a go myself. Has anyone on here tried this? just want to know what stuff i need and how long it will take really. And how hard it is to do...
   
   Cheers

   Thinking about this my self,i def need a re-trim, the interior really lets my car down, but so far it looks as if its going to be an expensive job.

   yeah same here. Gonna have to custom fit the front seats too cause they are universal runners ..it'll take me ages

   its just a case of taking the original covers off and an using the different panels as patterns, if you good with the sewing machine then go ahead but get it wrong and it will look crap, good luck but id be getting it done professionally tbh
   
   as for retrimming doorcards, ive done it, do a search
