   a razor does work. you just need to shave and shave the same part until the bobbles have all been cut off. just remember to wipe the razor every now and again so that it clears the shaved bobbles off the blades

    Just be sensible and you shouldn't take to much off. I did it on the 206 seats and it worked a treat. Actually noticed a small hole in one of the fronts the other day. 180 seats ahoy? hmm.....

    a mate did it to his gti-6 but it must have already been done before and got thin because he shaved a hole in it!

    Use a razor and lightly shave the top, shouldn't go thinner as your only supposed to take the fluff and top layer off.
    
    I do it to my seats and have had no trouble
