Anyone found somebody who can do a decent job of reupholstering seats in the UK? The only place that seemed interested that I found was called: Seat Surgeons, but they need the existing seats for 3-4 weeks (see below):

I thought it might be helpful to potential buyers to see what you get with the i-Remote app if like me you assumed it would join-up the ownership experience in a meaningful way. Unfortunately it's very poorly designed - staggeringly so in fact - almost as if they accepted the first effort of a...
