I spoke to Paul Hewit of The Seat Surgeon very helpful chap, they have just opened a branch in the Midlands as well and have one in London
His number is 01904 795 092
I will post some pics of the stuff he has done - I am going to get mine booked in for the first week of Jan. £895 for all 7 seats.
He owns a factory in China that makes them and sends them out to the UK he can do any colour combination you would like, they are all leather not just facings - they can do any colour stitching, ruffled leather and perforated leather. His price seems competitive, however, we could ask for a forum discount if we get enough interest 15 3.0 RRS HSE - Silver

That's not bad. I take it he's actually re-trimming, not just putting leather covers on?
Does he take the seat airbags into account? Bodsys Brake Bible

Full retrim, airbags not a problem. You should change your order to a XS and put leather on it - buy a Tomtom they are better than LR Sat Nav anyway. Nobody uses the off road display thing anyway its only there to impress your mates at work
And put the £8k you save in the bank 
Or spend it on multiple trips to Moroco or nice familiy holiday to the Carabean.  15 3.0 RRS HSE - Silver

I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.. But i'd better get off that topic as there are too many scottish saltire's flying on the site..... Bodsys Brake Bible

I think you will find many of us do use the 4x4 info. Retrim is great, but it still isn't an HSE or SE seat as they are different also don't forget to tell your insurers. DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

Yep. Did do. Thanks.
Yes I know they are not as comfy as SE/HSE seats as mentioned elsewhere. I thought the only difference was the inconvenience of having to adjust them myself! Getting used to them now though! Back in the game!

I find it very useful when driving in ruts as it is very easy to tell which way the wheels are turning thus preventing punctures. It is also great to be able to tell which wheels are on the ground or under max compression. I too thought it was a gimmick, but the more you use it the better it gets. In the winter I drive offroad most weeks so I get to use it a lot. But I'll leave you your sinky seat peering ahead whilst getting punctures DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
