    Bora seats in beige - repair or replace?

    Howdy all

    My Bora has a beige interior, and its all in pretty good nick other than the expected wear on the lower seat bolster on the Driver's side. its collapsed and the foam is almost gone and I wondered if I should send them off to have the bolsters re-"bolstered" or should i get all seats recovered completely or should i get new seats?

    I ask more from a price concern rather than looks. Ideally I'd like to get the bolsters re-done as I think that might be best. Anyone know a good cost to aim for?

    There was a set of black leather seats on ebay recently that went for $5-600 IIRC. If you're happy to wait, you might be able to pick up a set for a good price.
    I'm guessing your V64M has the sport seats with airbags, so keep that in mind to stay legal.
