    Hi

    I have a burn hole in the front passenger seat of my 2005 GT TDi.
    I have looked on Ebay but don't fancy buying a full set of seats or paying dismantlers prices for one. Has anyone got any suggestions

    Cheers Ian

    You are absolutely correct, the laser surgery I got is not working as I thought it was a Pug 205 for some reason.
    All jokes aside, I got a local general upholsterer to do it, I think he took a piece of surplus material from the base of the seat and patched it in. He made a good job of it and it didn't cost a lot either.

    Hope that helps and I'm away now for more eye surgery...
