Advice needed: is this leather damage repairable?
defo repairable, take it to a decient upholsterers, they will just fix that part of the seat, they can usually get an identical match for the colour, i had my BMW Bolster done in black leather, only charged me 45 quid, and had the bolster on the zed done too, again 45 quid

car options again lol
get her an astra/focus and just take out the parcel shelf so the dog can see over the seats, do it in my astra all the time with my mates dog, get about 300-350 miles to a tank(40ish quid) and insurance is ok too, also they are better than a ****y 1.1 corsa/fiesta, and you can still sell the zed for something fast.
