C5 seat bolsters: retain the original trim or retrim the pair?

One driver's bolster is split but the passenger seat still looks great. For an Australian C5 build, what convinced you to repair a single panel or recover both seats? Photos in daylight would help show how well different materials age together.

Bring the trimmer a photo of the rest of the cabin in sunlight. A sample that looks black on the bench can stand out against twenty years of faded carpet once it's in the car.
