changing to chimaera seats-anyone done it.?

[kev s3]

hi all,still finding my feet with the s and was needing to either replace or recover the seats as they are getting a bit tatty.i heard that chimaera(sp?)seats fitted into the s and was wondering if anyone has tried this,or is this an expensive route and i would be better getting new cow put on the old ones.also any idea where i can get the plastic covers for the tilt lever mech as they are missing.any ideas much welcome,so much to learn!
cheers kev

cheers guys, will do a bit of phoning around to see about prices.i believe they are a bit better than the s ones.this might be the best option as mine are starting to sag as well(the seats that is,boom boom!)

thanks dave,problem is im up in scotland and cant see the seats,would have to be done on trust(or a very long journey) if you see what i mean.think ill go and have a word with an uppolsterer(sp?) up here. theres a guy in dundee with a really good rep. hes about 70 ish and his workshops a total mess -but you want to see the work he produces!one of the old type craftsmen i think.
