So they quoted £2500 just to do the front and rear seats?

Not door cards, rear quarter cards or centre consoles?

You can get seats done for £1500 without an issue I believe.

Where in London you based?

I know of someone and can pass the number on

Makes a good "mint" set at £750 with the correct patina for the age of the car cheap. Not that I have one to sell, but I've seen some at this price that have taken a while to sell.

For me, the correct patina is everything. There will come a time when it is not available, as in older pre-1960 cars, but while it is, its worth waiting and paying for.

I can vouch for Tony's work. He did the cream leather interior in my cabby a while back. Still looks great.

These guys are pretty much the only trimmers that I'd use

Give or take £1500 I think. All depends on the hide used and a few other factors

I was quoted £800 to do a front pair of e24 sports seats

They've done work on e30's and a fair few BMW's but if you look at their limited gallery you'll see that they do some serious work

You pay for what you get in terms or workmanship and quality hides

£800 for front and rear is excellent.

My bad, it was £800 for a front pair of recaro seats

The last full re trim I sent their was was a Motorsport cabriolet to be done in lotus white. They sourced the correct hide, trimmed the front and rear seat including the hard back cover, re Connollised the door cars and consoles and re trimmed the door handles. I think it was £1700 all in

I'll go back and edit the original post

But still, the price they charged was very very reasonable

Sorry, the car did not require a retrim just some tidying up in a couple places, and a quote for a new roof . There was an E30 having work done at the time though, did not see the finished product.
