These guys have a good reputation, Richmond & James, Waterlooville, 02392 266899.
I have also heard someone talking positively about a place near Lymington, New Forest Auto Trimmers IIRC, but I have not seen their work.

Well, I went to Southern Upholstery today - but the chap doesn't reconnolise - or know anyone who does! Will make a few more calls and see what happens. I may well go back to the company to recarpet my Chimaera though

Let me know if they are any good as i need the bolster on mine doing. Hi, I finally decided to use a mobile company based on the Isle of Wight. They are called Smart Technique and cover anywhere within a 50 mile radius of Southampton. John, the owner/technician was happy to come over on the ferry to sort my cars - all I did was send him a photo first. My Ferrari has cream seats and one bloster had soe wear and he also fixed a tear in a rally car seat. He did a brilliant job, in a completely different league to me trying to do it myself (which I have done on previous cars) He also touched up a couple of areas I hadn't even spotted and all within the same price. He also showed me photos of some very major repairs he has carried out. He can also touch up paint and will soon be refurbing wheels from his van too. He is just getting a new website designed so best to check the prices quoted as some are out of date. Highly recommended and worth a call www.smart-technique.co.uk

Have sent a lot of pics to him but he seems impossible to get hold of and doesn't reply to emails - not impressed so far.

Strange, he seemed very keen when I dealt with him, may be worth phoning him as he was in the process of setting up a new website so there may be technical issues (giving him the benefit of the doubt!)

They are Crema Ferrari carbon backed bucket seats with red Alcantara inserts in case you spot them... Very pleased with his work
