Leather seats for vRS

pyinnit · 11-07-2006, 19:10

Anyone had the new leather seats option on their Fabia. My dealer says they can get a outside company to do the leather similar to the new option. Dont know whether to get it done. Think they said it costs £800.

Cheaper than the dealers option. Think it might be worth it after people posting about fraying interior

. If anyone has had it done, is it comfyand do u reckon it'll be worth it?

ChrisRs · 11-07-2006, 19:12

There are few guys who have had it done. Do a search. They favour Seat Surgeons, York

Harry_vRS · 11-07-2006, 19:53

Yep. I was the first to have it done. There are some pics on here:

I'm thinking of having this done now after i noticed a hole and some wear on my passengar seat, which is used very rarely and yet my drivers seat is fine.

Could i have new seats under warranty???

I've got heated seats- can they retrim on these? How long did it take? Would i have to go to them then- im from South Wales. Long journey

no problem with heated seats and you go to them. When mine was done it took about 4-5 hours, I travelled down from Glasgow to get mine done, left at 4 am was in York for about 8am. they then dropped me off in York and they got to work. York is a lovley city with plenty to do and I made a day of it while they did the work,I was back home for about 8pm. Long day but worth the hassle.

Just took some quick pics of my leather. This was done by Skoda not Seat Surgeons.

How much did that cost you??

BrOwS · 11-07-2006, 21:39

£1300 which is alot more than what Seat Surgeons charge plus Skoda don't do the door cards.

However I'm happy with the outcome and it was all fitted before I took delivery of the car.

Skoda mentioned although they can re-trim new or old vrs if it has side airbags, it can't be done.

At the time I got mine done, Seat Surgeons were a trade-only outfit. I got seats, door cards and gearlever gaiter for a grand from L4Leather in Sheffield.

It 'can' its just as yet the covers arent type approved as they arent fully tested. I was told this is underway.

BrOwS · 11-07-2006, 21:50

Thats good news, I did wonder if at some point they would sort that out

texasjohn · 11-07-2006, 22:08

I have the same leather as Brows (the 'official' option) it is very nice, much nicer feel to it than the leather in my previous car (S2000). The £1300 outlay is a lot of £ but I got a good deal on my car as it was, so I went for it. Seat Surgeons at £700 is considerably better value for money.

Jon TDI · 11-07-2006, 22:41

I rate Seat Surgeons very highly. They retrimmed my rear seat in proper nappa leather to match the TT seats I fitted, & at a price considerably cheaper than anywhere else I was quoted.

WW_VRS · 12-07-2006, 06:48

Hmm if they type approve it Ross could you perhaps drop a note on the site - if it's a dealer accessory I may just consider it

vRSLen · 12-07-2006, 19:08

The wife want's leather on her vRS and our local dealer will get it
done cost price

postmanpat · 12-07-2006, 19:18

IIRC its allready been posted on here that seat surgeons can recover side airbags and heated seats.

Harry_vRS · 12-07-2006, 19:30

Someone was in a black 06 fabia getting kitted out today, didnt manage to catch whoever it was.
