D2M has a good writeup on making the seats feel betterand it includes how to rewrap them. I dont think it should be too hard, just prying off the staples and getting a staple gun to put the new cover on.

Here's the link to D2M's HowTo thread.

I,ve got a write up somewhere on doing my 02 F4i. Came out better than stock IMO. The trick for me
was to get a fabric that wasnt too thick. It will fold over the seat much nicer. Also I used a solvent based contact cement to fasten the edges under the seat. Been about a year now with no problems. Instead of bean bag material, it nowlooks likeplush leather.

I think you are talking about the one on eBay. I bought them and they were easy to install. In fact I installed it right on top of the stock cover. All you need is like thhey said a Big Staple Gun.
