Anyone ever re-trimmed standard seats? Noticable difference, with replacing the bolsters etc?

Also, can you upgrade the bolster support etc to be more "fitted" feeling like the plus?

You've got it bad haven't you?! laugh

On a serious note, the standard leather in a 6 had deeper bolsters I think? This may be a cheaper compromise for you?

The seats in my VT6 are MUCH better than the Scottie seats... 2 years younger but 15K miles older. Both sets of seats still feel fine though; lots of non-stop 3hr drives to JBTs ( rolleyes ) with no aches and pains even at my advanced age thumb ,

Mine have been retrimmed by the previous owner with broom yellow panels in the centre!

They look ah-may-zing but really don't feel any different to standard 20vt seats, other than they are less tired generally - I guess that the bolsters in the base were replaced.
