I am in the process of re-dyeing badly faded carpets on my Tuscan.
Getting great results so far, but need to do the tunnel sides at the seats - best way is obviously to take the seats out for access.
Assuming the bolts underneath will come undone, are their any other factors to worry about doing this?

Just the bolts on the underside and give it a pull.

Tuscanny - am sure you are getting quality results from the re-dye, but in the long run, if you want to think about it, I have just had all of my carpets re-done to a v high standard. Looks a ton better and got new floormats in the process.

Cost all in £400 for the bulk of the car with A&R Pound, and then an additional £250 for just the dash area which had to be done by Racing Green (complexities of pod etc stymied the carpet upholsterer given this was the first Tuscan he had done).

I hear what you're saying, but the carpets were in such good order(other than the fade) that I thought i'd try this first.
It's really not that difficult other than making sure you protect all the other trim and, as I said, the results are outstanding - carpets are coming up like new!

be warned, tuscan seats can, and nearly are always a nightmare to remove. the rear bolts will come out ok, but the front bolts will spin. this usually requires lots of effort to try and lock them in place, or cut them out and replace them. sorry to be negative :-)

Wedge a screwdriver down the side of the front bolts.
