Advice please......My seats are in poor state and the outer sills although not rusty would look better covered up. I have been reading about Boxster seats and various side skirts but am a bit lost with it all. What I need to know is
a) Best options regarding seats, replace and with what or recover with what and from whom without spending a fortune.
b) What outer side skirts to get...and then the same as above!!

Im sure this has all been discussed many times over the years but any help will as always be most appreciated.

Don't cover them up. If they don't look great then they are rusty.

You can fit later type seats Iv done it before. Don't hold you as nice but are easier to get in and out.

You will need a grinder/ hack saw and a drill and bit off DIY. I wired them up as well.
Your need to use your currently seat belt receivers unless you change belt ends.

When you say your seats are in a poor state, what do you mean? Mine were grubby and no amount of cleaning would make them look any better, so I bought a recolouring kit from Gliptone for £50 and the results were fantastic. Of course, if yours are ripped or cracked, then that's a different matter....

Cheers,
Bryan
