I think Ԛ£800+ for a full retrim, altho ive heard you can do it yourself if your moderately skilled!

[billgatese30]

well will, i'm an engineer so it shouldn't be too bad, however, its the time, plus i would like to get it professionally done so that i have a warrenty, plus i know that it's been done proper.

Depends on how far you want to go mate. Around Ԛ£800 is what a lor of trimmers charge for the 2 fronts anr the rear seats. Start adding things like the door cards and the price starts going up and it can keep going to over Ԛ£5k like mine depending on when you decide you've had enough

Just had my touring done, all seats, headlinning, new carpet. all for Ԛ£1500
all done as per bmw spec so that it look original. friging good quality leather as well. i can't send pics at the mo cos the cars being re-sprayed.
if you want details let me know

Nice one Chris, this is something I planned to do to the sport, get some new heating elements in there while it's apart too.
Will look 100% when it's done!
I want 1st dibs if you ever decide to sell!

[billgatese30]

gonna bve pricey but worth it.

I'm looking for a good trimmer to re-do the drivers seat bottom bolsters. Any recommendations for good companys much appreaciated !

[k130]

anyone know where to get the materials for a retrim? Fortunately my dear old mum used to be an upholsterer so has the skills!!

A-Trim in the London area can supply good second hand leather bolster material for Ԛ£35 per section. Have phoned them and they have a ready supply of passenger seat bits that are in really good condition.

There is a trimmer that all the vw show cars use, based nr leeds, but he arranges a courier to pick up and drop off your interior.

He's done a couple of trims for my brother too, his work is immaculate!

His website is www.mjinteriors.co.uk

worth a call, decent lad too.

Giles, have you got a contact number / email / website for A-Trim ?

[Geeman]

No, not on me... but they advertise in the 'main' BMW magazines all the time.
