As we all know, over time, the front leather seats start to look a little sorry for themselves. Has anyone bothered reupholstering them?

no..
But if you have heated seats I believe this is "built in" to the cover....
So would need to have original covers to keep it...

Yes I've had the full interior retrimmed on mine a few years ago now. It's all in my build thread lol.
Even with front/rear heating it's not an issue as the heating elements are seperate.

Found your build thread and noticed that you also installed coilovers, but whilst searching for your build thread, also noticed that you sold the coil overs at a later date. How come? as that's one job I want to eventually do, that 20" rims & spacers.
