    yep did the whole lot myself

    you should find the rear seats relitivly easy to do

    compared to the front seats

    im about to do mine funnilty enough, im gonna carfully take the originals apart and use the parts as a pattern for the leather etc,

    easiest way to get a good factory fit

    got my leather off ebay, loads cheaper than buying it locally

    Good effort.

    Like any real skill, you can never get anywhere near the quality without the experience.
