Looking after sport seats

[Pannalstaroz]

Guys, like all cars, my X5 is showing signs of wear on the bolsters of my sport seats. What can I do to bring them back to life? The bolsters need painting?? but I guess the rest of the seats are fine.

one fellow here had the seats re-upholstered, looked even better than the factory... i have to dig up that thread... and it wasn't that expensive to begin with

I saw a thread with a guy who had them reupholstered in faux leather - probably not my thing. It's only the drivers seat too. I might try and take a picture and you guys can let me know if it's worth doing.

the real leather was just a little bit more expensive, he just preferred the faux - that is the right thread....

Whatever you do decide try and stay away from the painting it never holds up and ends up looking worse.
