Just interested to know if there is a supplier of the OEM leather seat pieces, not covers but the original ones which allow existing seats to be unpicked and a new OEM fitted. The occasional one pops up ok eBay but seem to be more rear seat ones than front seats, wondered if any of the LR specialists sold them?

A company in Ipswich called Only Way is Custom can replace with new. They did a Rangie on their Facebook page recently. They quoted me les than £400 to recover both seat bases  Visitor from fullfatrr.com

Is it not available as a genuine part? I had a fault once on a L322 heated seat, and they replaced the base cover under warranty. I was well pleased as it was cream leather and starting to show it’s age! It also didn’t need unpicking, I think it’s held on with clips.

Think it as over £300, but not sure Range Rover Sport HSE DYnamic SDV6 Velocity blue 2020 MY

OEM are available but are bloody expensive and I think are made to order. They are all attached with hog rings and are pretty much DIY, no unstitching required. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
