I am lucky really, we have a trade account through work so I paid £74 all in, still a lot of money for a block of foam but I wanted to sort it before it marked the leather.

What I am finding strange at the moment is how much firmer the base is.

Yeah thats not bad compard to the price of the anniversary covers ! The base cover for 1 seat costs more than what i paid for the lot ! Luckily my foams ok its just the drivers bolster is getting a bit thin so im going to swap them around so it lasts that bit longer :)
