Not much to add in terms of the process, I will let the pictures walk through the process
BHPian arb recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
This is where we started, original leather wrapped steering, first set of seat covers fitted directly over the original seat fabrics, worn out original hand rest and torn gear level boot and hand brake with a flimsy silicon wrap holding the broken plastic trim.
I had an appointment for 3pm at Imperial, and the team there worked like a clock work from Three to Seven Thirty in evening. Almost the entire floor was catering to my Bear. One on steering, handbrake and gear boot for nearly 2.5 hours and remaining from removing the seats, foam correction, seat cover application back to refitting the seats all in sync. Not much to add in terms of the process, I will let the pictures walk through the process.
Empty cabin and lone staff catering to steering.
