Not sure whether the post belongs here but the closest I could think of.

I have a set of Type-R recaro's that I took from my old car, the drivers seat has a tear in the suede, it's been worn through over time by people sliding in and out of the car. Is there anyway that this can be repaired?

You can have the section reupholstered, someone like trimline systems would do that, wont be cheap though.
Other options order a new seat cover from Honda or keep an eye on ebay for a replacement seat.

No cheap solution.

Repair unlikely to be entirely invisible, if it is the cost substantial.

Better off getting replacement seat, preferably a pair, as the cost could be as little as £200 if you take your time waiting for the right seller.

It's more the fact I'm wanting to sell them, but I don't know whether I'd be able to with the wear on it, it's not huge but certainly is noticeable.
