Thanks PrevanP! Yeah, I had to remove those coins with a hammer and chissel. It seems some kids kept dropping their ice cream down the opening for the safety belt buckle

Yeah was checking out the website - the gallery of photos are impressive!
My drivers seat could do with some treatment

Thanks Onyx & Carn - Sorry for the late reply.

Yes they do use sprayguns and buffing pads on the seats
I wasn't present when they did mine, but they did a few pieces of leather furniture while I was there...

The nice thing is that they also replaced the torn leather areas on the driver seat.

I am not sure how durable this repair will be, but this was my only option as I could not find any nice C-Class seats at the scrap yards around here. It seems that the fading was a common problem on this model...
