Square peg in the round hole  :grin:
Give the frabric to a coach trimmer get him to cut the material to the right size then a few quid later magic he would have nice new bolsters without holes!

Or you can use the passenger side fabric that would need less modifications if you cna find a decent enough one though?

Take off the driver seat cover.  Unpick the bolster.  Trace around the rear seat fabric and cut.

Sew it back onto driver seat.  Re-fit.

DIY.

Bolster foam would be quite tough, its always the fabric that wears out, but like I've mentioned best to let a pro do it TBH.

Most people will swap a passengers side then cut a new holes for seat belts and seat forward leavers!

Try and find a 5 door set and use the passenger seat to re-cover and upgrade the bolsters...

That's what I did, in fact I bought my 5 door passenger seat from Mr MGS. There were a couple of marks on it, but the bolsters were perfect. A local trimmer made me one mint drivers seat out for £40.
