Has anyone had heated seats retrofitted to their car? Abarth sadly doesn't offer heated seats as an option so I can't get some seats with the heating element in and fit them. I need to go to someone who can strip my seats, fit a heating element, wiring etc and refit.

I'm willing to travel if there is anyone whose work is top notch but I'm based in Leicester.

Thanks for the help everyone, looks like a trip to Sheffield will be in order. £500 isn't cheap but will add a lot to the enjoyment of the car.

Cheers guys. No issue with the wiring side but I don't fancy taking brand new seats apart to fit the elements.

They make a big difference in a convertible, there's nothing better than having the roof down on a clear cold night with the heated seats on.

Just to close this out I had my seats fitted with all the heating gubbins by https://www.facebook.com/AutoroofsAutomotive/ The only visible clues that anything has changed is the switch by the centre console and the cable going to the seat back on the driver's side.
