sampayne 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Is any one interested in a leather retrim?? just gauging reaction/interest because if i can get a few people interested i think i can get it done for £895 - Which sounds like a good price to me considering the price of secondhand leather, but im not sure how much a re-trim normally cost, so it might not be that good a deal!! the deal s my friend has started his own business and is trying to get his name out there, he has been retrmming cars for about 8 years with the same firm who specialised in doing after market leather for Mercedes and BMW. im seeing at the weekend so i'll ask him if thers any questions (MODS - sorry didnt know where to put this as its not actually for sale) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted May 11, 2006 i'd be interested in a partial re-trim(ie my front seats only)..........FYI MJ charge £450 for the front seats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted May 11, 2006 Possibly interested - £895 is not a bad price if it includes the door cards Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted May 11, 2006 count me in to, better than spending about £800 on some 12ish year old leather, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sampayne 0 Posted May 11, 2006 i have seen a mk4 he did and i thought it came out of the factory with leather, there was no baggyness , ruffles or ripples in the leather - hope that makes sense lol when i have seen cheap leather the material never seems to fit right, but these looked good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KADVR6 0 Posted May 11, 2006 can ya get any pics of he's work?? also what about half leather with alcantara.. 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sampayne 0 Posted May 11, 2006 He's based in Colchester, but i know he travels around fitting leather, not sure how far he goes but he was doing a job in birminham the other week. there is always the optin of sending your seats down - cost would be kept as cheap as possible as i work in haulage, but no seats in a carrado might be a bit of a bugger!!!

sampayne 0 Posted May 11, 2006 I did ask about alcantara and he said that would be the same price, but not sure if he meant all alcantara or 1/2 ...... i'll find out yep, i'll ask him for some pics and get them posted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cromwell 0 Posted May 12, 2006 i will definitely be interested in a month or so after this head gasket bill is out of the way! if you could get some pics of his work that would be great. can he stitch lettering into seats? im after "g60" stitched into the seats and all round black leather with white trim. maybe some alacantra if it isnt much more 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calorrado 0 Posted May 12, 2006 Price sounds very reasonable, as earlier stated if door cards are included in price (but is this cash price or is there VAT on top?), will need to souce some recaro front seats first though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
