Hi

Hoping for a little advice / guidance - I have a cigarette lighter burn on the front seat of my wife's car.

It's a lease-car and I would like to get it repaired before we have to hand it back to prevent being landed with a big bill! However, it looks pretty nasty and I'm not sure if a 'chips away' franchise / upholstery repair would be able to do anything with it.

Some pics of the damage below - has anyone dealt with anything similar with any success? Or any recommendations on how to rectify it?

What car is it on? Replacement seat covers are fairly cheap, you can get a new one for £50-£150 and if you're a bit handy with the spanners it'll take a few hours to change.
Did she miss with the cigarette lighter?
