   to be honest mate, retrimming seats dont come cheap. have you tried ebay. or considered 106gti seats? they look better than retrimmed saxo seats anyway. 106 seats have bigger side bolsters and better shaped headrests

   As someone said leather retrim not cheap and 750 is cheap cos I do it from home and not trying to big my self up but I also do a dam good job . I also use a 1/4" foam under the leather makes seats look miles better and feel some people go for the vinyl trim cos it's cheaper but in my eye it feels cheaper to . People spend thousands on there retrim . Like mine would have been 1500 just for seats and door panels I've also done head lining and a b c panels . Secondhand is the way to go if you don't have much money to spend on car

   Yeah av been looking for ages on everything but carnt find any within a 3hourish drive from where i live.. I wouldnt mind 106 leather seats but am wanting to keep my saxo suttle and standard as possible, so i thought some saxo leather seats would look a treat
