Seat re trim DIY
I am about to purchase a pair of seat retrim kits to redo my defender front outer seats.

The Britpart ones are considerably cheaper than the Exmoor ..... is there a reason for this ?


Has anyone had experience of the Britpart ones, I have to say that I normally avoid anything badged 'Britpart' but i am doing this on a budget ! 1984 300TDi hardtop Stornoway Grey

Jim,

I did mine at some point last year and used the Exmoor Ones. When I was looking there wasn't much in the cost and the reviews were pretty much stacked 50/50 for which were best etc. I doubt much has changed too much so I think it is a take your pick scenario on this one. 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green - It's a keeper.

Thanks Phil.

Thats really helpful.

The Exmoor ones are £83 and the Britpart ( Paddocks) ones are £65, so its now quite a big difference, I just hate Britpart stuff as its normally rubbish.

I will look on line for reviews ( dont know why I never thought of that ) 1984 300TDi hardtop Stornoway Grey

What is it you are after?

I've recently done the puma premium upgrade from exmoor so have the original covers and headrests etc going spare.

They are plain dark grey/black cloth from factory. No damage to them....if that's of any use?
