Wow. If you want to have the whole thing done in leather, it could be a serious job!

Anyway, try Uthuli Auto Trimming, 011 795 1541; they're near Northgate, just a short distance from Banbury Cross. Their work is good, and they're reasonably priced.

I would love to know what it finally costs you, so please let us know.

The last car that I had "leathered" for a client (I was working for Lindsay saker at the time) was a new Polo in 1998, and it was R9000 then, I would love to hear what they are charging now. :D

Wow that's a little excessive?

I think less than that now, tbh (could be wrong)

Just dont settle for the cheapest quote, and ask the company for a few names of customers they did jobs for. Then you can see the quality of their work. Leather is a very very, and a very difficult material to work with, especially car seats. Leather is a expensive material, so it will be a costly exercise. Please trust me, I know what I'm talking about here,
DON'T SETTLE FOR THE LOWEST QUOTE, RATHER SEE THE COMPANY'S WORK QUALITY BEFORE YOU GET IT DONE.

What he said, nothing looks worse than a car with badly upholstered leather, except maybe if they used the wrong leather and then it started to fade because of sunlight (I've seen a "custom faded" job, looks cool for about 1 month, then you start to realize you just paid R3k for leather that's turning where the sun hits it, looks lekker brak pan ek se).

Either way you get the idea.
