These are Blue (of all colours) but came up at good money and are in good condition. No rips or tears, no dirt patches and no sagging bolsters anywhere. Plan is to use the original GTi trim from the old seats which I have carefully removed and then retrim the edges black to match. Will look awesome when done but as stated been quoted 400 quid to have it done....seems expensive, hoping my mate will do for about 100 quid.

Look good but as you say definately need a retrim. :cool:

Anyway you could dye the material somehow in the meantime til you can afford to have em retrimmed?
