I would pay the price to get it done properly... luckily you can still see the majority of mine. I am going to purchase seat covers for general driving to try and protect the original badge as much as possible. One person I spoke to that has the embroided badge said they had to get official authority to change it on the seat as its Mary Quant's signature.. I am presuming this is not the case?

Would that be Ruth Lowe & her white Designer?
Realistically, we shouldn't need permission to recreate the badges as we're not doing it for profit and they're an original part of the car. We're simply replacing them.

exactly - when mary decided she was part of this mini she had to contract out her signiture so in order for you do bring tht signiture back to life you dont need permission as it is the original feature x

That is very interesting then... seems someone is trying to give me false advise.. :S Do you know anywhere that will repair the seats? I have a slight tear in my driving seat (sitting in it too much) I got a horrible feeling I might just have to patch it though.

You could try Minitrimmings. He won't be cheap, but he will do a very good job of it. He also does some very tidy vinyl Designer-style seat covers too.
