Anybody had any 180 seats repaired. Have a few cigarette burns in mine from a previous owner that I want sorted. Also anybody have a rough idea of a price for about 3-4 holes?
Thanks

Im sure i read somewhere that you can obtain the fabric from peugeot? Then its just a case of finding a local company to change the material for the new swatch you have. Im guessing it wont be a cheap fix mind.

The material is only Alcantara which can be bought from some online fabric dealers, but then it's a case of finding someone to repair for you, I also am in the same boat but only 1 small hole which I'll attempt to repair myself

Morning Guys,
Alreet Razzzzzz 
I am "also" in the same boat as you guys.
However,
1. I bought the material, closer match to the original, looks good, £15+ vat per sq mtr.
(The original material was £33+ vat per sq mtr)
2. Removed passenger seat ready for my mates coach builders/fabricators/recover'ers to do the job.
3. Wasn't a problem taking the seat apart as they do all kinds of seats on a daily basis! Bish, Bash, Bosh done and dusted in seconds!
4. Phone call... "Not Good!" - The base material, seat area, curved and bucket shaped area "on mine" not sure about yours was bonded to the rubber/foam inner part with NO WAY of pulling it apart.
5. I went round to have a look, even he said, there's no reason WHY it's been done this way, usually you can just pull the seat apart and with a bit of jiggery pokery the material and leather slips away from the form/inner.
6. I was just thinking the base seated area would have been unstitched and a piece put in, easy! if only!
7. He resulted in cutting 4 small peices of material that matched the effected burn area's, applied some extra super dooper bond with a match stick end and pushed on the piece of material. Looks better than having burn holes but NOT the idea I had in mind!
So maybe it's just mine, yours MAY be different. But that's my story.
Costs, He was going to charge me £25 per seat, just as a guide.
I hope this helps you all out and some unwasted efforts.

Hereford out of curiosity which seat is it on yours though? If its a case of cant be done to a high standard by professionals i think i may have a bash at getting a small amount of this material and just whacking it on the area of the cigarette burn on mine as best i can 
thanks for your input and advice

The burn holes effected "Both" Seats mate.
He's repaired them as stated above, looks better now like, but could have done with the job doing A1.
PM me your address and i'll pop you a patch up kit in the post. (you'll need get some bond) His was the pukka stuff, looked like caramel, not sure what it was.
Out for a Tankie, saved my skin a few times!

Cool cheers mate ill drop you the PM now but were your burn holes on the front seats or the rear? Mines on the rear you see but its the single seat rather than the one connected to the middle seat
I think i will be happy with any sort of fix so im not looking at burn holes everytime i hoover the car! I wont need much of the material id say my holes are about a few cm each if that
Thanks again for the patch up kit dropping my address in a PM now mate
