Replacing standard seat with Alcantara

Hi all, have a 999 mono and I plan to change the seat material with Alcantara.

If any of you have had this done would you please let me know how much it cost, and where from?

Many thanks.
Mike

I had my local guy at H and M Foam in Calne recover a seat for in an Alcantara like material (it may have even been the real deal I can't recall).
Good job until it rains!

I bought a piece off ebay, can't remember how much but not a lot.
My local upholstier then recovered it for £15.
