Leather Interior

[too hot 0]

My Corrado has full electric Recaro interior and I was thinking of changing it to black leather. I don`t know if I should have the Recaros re trimmed or should I try to find a second hand leather interior and sell off the Recaros.Anyone got any experiences of re-trims or any recommendations as to who could do it.I think my first choice would be MJ Interiors as I have seen his work in numerous show cars and it always looks excellent.What about Audi TT style baseball glove stitching in a Corrado. 8) Any thoughts :?:

Personally I'd probably get the recaro's re-trimmed if you can afford it.

 

Or, as you say, the alternative would be to sell the recaro's which should pretty much pay for a second hand leather interior.

 

 

I'll take the recaro's off your hands for £200 8) :twisted:

 

 

always quite liked the seats in the TT's.

I would have the recaros retrimmed, especially if electric.

 

I had my golf nterior done by junior before moving on to subarus and can couch for the quality of his work.

 

Only problem I have ever seen with his work, was a friends fto. He wanted the door trims done but sadly due to the design, there was nowhere to edge off the leather so he had to stick the panel on and simply cover the end of the leather with some black silicon. The final result didnt look right, and junior knew it, so he did not charge for the work at all, cant say fairer than that. One of the nicest people I have ever dealt with!

 

The seats were first rate too.

TOO HOT, There are plenty of places around Glasgow that will do a good retrim

and one is Ballies in Johnstone. They are not the cheapest but you will get a good

job (a lot of the executive car dealers use them).

 

Beware cheapo retrims: they use thin crusty leather and weak stitching (double

backstitch is what you want!)

Is it possible to get the recaros from a Escort XR3I/ RS turbo and get subframes to fit? Could then get these retrimmed.

vr6storm is correct, I have a pair of leather Sapphire Cosworth recaros in my Golf, which have had Scirocco subframes supplied/fitted to them by MJ.

 

NB: these recaros may be for sale soon, as I am having the Audi TT recaros fitted soon. (the TT seats tilt forward, whereas the Ford ones dont :( )
