Torn seats repair

My puppy has enjoyed biting the map pockets at the rear of the front seats.

The driver's seat was particularly bad and rather than have a trimmer remove the seats and de-skin them I attempted a repair myself. Total cost £5. Time taken 45 minutes.

See for yourself and please be the judge. Sorry pics are sideways.

Far better than was, but to me it looks a bit odd, and doesn't go with seat colour finish, did you do both front seats to match? I think a piece of same color and type of similar material/leather would have been the way to go.
Only a personal opinion of course. Smile John

Yes I did both seats.

If I could find some leather of the right colour I would wrap the strip and re-apply it.

Any ideas where to get the right colour? RRS (MY13) Santorini Black SDV6 HSE luxuary

I got a large piece of leather from a Scrapyard off a write off car with crunched seats, but leather was fine for my needs, cost £12, if you know the colour phone around any yards you can get too.

Here in North Wales we have a large site that is open to public and trade called ABAKHAN Ltd, they have a website to www.abakhan.co.uk that sell so many materials for clothes, bedding, suites, curtains etc they may be able to help to, there are several buildings to complex, including a cafe, gift shop etc. By road they are on the A458 near Mostyn Docks, North Wales.
If you look out for an old rusting white ship, it is in front of it. Image below.
