How much did you guys pay to get front and rear seats re-trimmed?

I have had a quote for $500 for vinyl/ microsuade seats.... Thats a good price isn't it??

If thats for front and back seats, then yes that is a good price. My back seat alone was $400. My mate just had his HQ Monaro done, that set him back $2500.

In Y2K it cost me $2,000 to have 4 seats rebolstered and then trimmed in half velour / suede (the real stuff)........ so $500 per bum rest..... and then the embroidered logos cost me extra

For the same price, I couldve had all leather. And the leather wouldve lasted longer too. After 5 years, the velour faded and the suede had heavy wear marks.


If you intend doing this to a show car, I suggest using seat covers OVER the new trim to protect the new fabric from sun damage and dirt off your clothes.

$500 sounds like a fair price to me, then again it all depends on what your getting done, are you getting piping, any new foam added?

A new interior truly does finsh a restored mini off! Unfortunately to keep them looking awesome you do need covers. So I went half way and, from brickworx bought front and rear half leather seats. Cost 500 for the set but were perfect (not so anymore but aboit 99%). It's sad cos I love the look of my seats but my car is an everyday driver so I really should get covers but hey, I can always buy another rover interior when these bite the dust! PS I gave my original rear seat to craig goss and he got it retrimmed for a decent price and looks awesome, its great to see 40 year old stuff being reused!

I need to get my driver seat re-trimmed so it will pass a road worthy check. Slinkey inc can you please explain your half and half seats. I'm a bit confused. Im not sure if i should get leather or the original vinyl. Slinkey are you a member of Hot Bricks or the mini club of sa?

Im in Hotbricks.... Hmm they are rover mayfair MK2 seats, Same as willy's. I'll explain.... The head rests, back, sides and everywhere else is elather. Where you sit on and rest against is cloth. Same with rear seats. Will post pic later, gotta go to work! (im late actaully...!!!)
