Ripped Leather Seat

I have a ripped drivers side leather seat in my 2004 C4S. Its a tan interior and its quite noticeable. A 4 inch gash on the side bolster where you sit, not on the main portion of the seat. Anyone had experience with this in Toronto or anywhere else? I'm wondering if I can get just the side bolster recovered.

You can buy the piece from Porsche, but it is unbelievably expensive, for the "Comfort Seat" the part number is 996-521-141-05, Savanah beige code is ESG, price is $978.56. For sport seats the number is 996-521-993-02, Savanah beige code is S30, same price. I have one for the comfort seats that I found on Ebay a few years ago, a off'brand dealer was selling alot of Porsche parts the had somehow collected. I think I paid about $60 and was going to replace the worn side bolster on my car. Unfortunately it was sitting in the basement on a workbench and some PVC primer got splashed on it. Now it has some purple spots I haven't been able to get out.

I would check out a good upholstery shop, they should be able to replace the piece and stain it to match for alot less than the Porsche piece.

Thanks Dharn. I have found a top notch auto upholstery shop here in Toronto and will check it out and post the results. I agree, I think an upholstery shop is the way to go.

Used an auto upholsterer for my ripped seat. They took the seat out, matched/dyed the leather and re-did the bolster. Excellent job from what I can see - $450. But a few very small nicks in the centre consol which I will have to deal with.
