You can try to get a comparable passenger seat from a continental car....

Contemporary SE so you should have the black sports seats. New cover(s) if available from Rip Off Bros. will require a loan from the World Bank...
A number of members have reported really good bolster repairs by specialists for £60-£100+. I've got one such specialist near me and my seat needs the same repair so I'll pop over and get a quote/timeline and let you know.
If it's not worn through the leather then there are repair/refurbishment kits that a DIY'r can manage a good visually acceptable job on but I don't think they will take the wear/tear this bit of the seat has to put up with.

Normally you would be correct, but they have specials on at the moment which includes seat leathers, foams etc. some of which are VERY good value for money. Haven't checked your particular seat needs for you, but I think it's certainly worth a look there.
