The UK Hyundai Coupe Club

no idea on the bmw stuff but the hyundai stuff is terrible, im getting a new leather seat cover put in under warranty next week. The back might seem better becuase its never used so its not worn down?

Just a cautionary tale based on experience of what you're about to have done mate.

I had my seat cover replaced after 3 years, when the cover was removed it took off the edges of the foam inner, when the cover was replaced it looked saggy, very saggy over the top and side edges because there wasn't enough foam inner to pad it out.

I was asked to let the leather "settle in" as it had been vacuum packed after manufacture and it needed time for the fold creases to drop out. That was essentially bullshit but I ran with it for a short while to remove their argument, when I took that car back in with the seat in exactly the same state, they couldn't counter argue their case, thus, the entire seat foam back including the heating element was replaced.

The seat back alone is £900 (this was on the work order I signed for the warranty) then plus the inner foam/heater unit and labour.. I dead to think what to total was.

Short story.. check the seat over carefully mate, it's also going to be considerably more matt finish than the leather already in the car, I'm trying to find a way of buffing up the new leather to get it to match the remaining seats which have become slightly less matt finish over time/usage.

Dave

vacuum packed leather like it
once they in they dont come out

oh dear, dont scare me with horror stories lol. Im pretty sure they will do a good job... well i hope... :s

seats have been done, they did a very good job in all fairness, the only problem is the red is more matt than the rest, the rest is more shiny if that makes sense, need a way to make it all look the same

armour all lol

shall look into that :p

My suggestion is to drive your car lots, thus making your new dull drivers seat shinier in as short a time as possible :-D

if petrol wasnt to expensive i would be driving it all the time, but im finding myself lift sharing a bit due to high petrol prices

yep your arse rubbings are what do it best

maybe i should just put my music on, get some leds going in there and start having a rave in my seat on my drive lol
