Well, I would say the ones on CGB for around £29 each as they look the right shape although not fiited them myself, I did buy a set of 4 'cheaper' bolsters for £50 howefer they were huge and not the correct shape. Either that or source some foam yourself, take old bolster out and try to make replacements :coffee:

If I was to take a bolster out I'd just have a pile of foam dust :cooter:

If youre getting them professionally reupholstered, then the upholsterer will make some probably. Get them wrapped in leather of denim and it stops them from collapsing :)

Hi still have some new original Renault ones in the bag, might see if I can get them remade locally.

Last time I did that, the bloke at the upholstery place was tutting and murmuring about the fact the originals are moulds, made of special material, have webbing woven into them and are a very awkward shape.

Just getting an accurate shape in decent density foam for a good price will be a result :agree:

Agreed, I will see how close they can get to it for a sensible price. :agree:

might be worth getting these remade as well?
