I'm not familiar with motor trimmers around the Sydney area but one option could be to purchase the seat covers from Eastern Auto Upholstery in Bayswater, Victoria and then get a local upholsterer in your area to fit them for you.

Ive seen Moot's work up close and I can assure you its unreal and you wont be dissapointed. Anyone thinking of a re-trim should check him out.
Well done Moot.

i think its a case of ..if you need to ask the cost then its probably to much
in the big jobs price doesnt really matter, just as long as its done right

a smidge over 2 grand had my whole interior done.
Hoodlining, seat re-pack and retrim, door trims, dash pad, sunvisors, kick panels, rear parcel shelf, glove box lid etc.
I know it is only in leather look vinyl (because leather is an assload more expensive) But i think it was a cracker of a job for the price!

^^^ its a simple design, easy work, if all those parts where there is stitching were seperate peices then your looking at more $$$
Good for the money and probably glad you didnt pay anymore for it as there isnt that much into that.
its looks great, suits the car and does its job

Stitching a cover over the dash pad, and covering the glove box lid (with the provision for the knob to open it) and the sunvisors were the trickiest bits of the whole deal.
The sunvisors tend to bend when you fit a snug cover to them.
I couldnt get a quote under 5 grand (other then this friend of ours) when i was looking.
