Richard, at "Dynamic Interiors" (Notts) has re-trimmed my SPORT in Silver leather.
Door cards, rear arm-rest, seat pins and matching handbrake gaitor.
Great guy, took note of what I wanted exactly, all done in the quoted timescales too!

Hope you like :D

Stuck with the vertical stitching, as per the originals.

I specifically wanted the double-stitched seams...

Oh, yeah. ALL IN for £800.

Cheers! :D

Just ordinary dash wipes, the type in the re-seal packet. from Halfords I think. The gloss ones make the dash come up like new!!

That is gorgeous- and very reasonable in price!! Do you know him (special price?) or is that the going rate? I thought a full retrim would be way more than that!! I need one rather badly and thought I'd have to go for a decent seconhand set instead but would much prefer a retrim!! 8)

Took 10 days. I was left with a loan seat, wasn't a problem the car stayed in the garage the whole time. :D

Robsy - yes, he can repair seats/bolsters etc too. He will listen to exactly what spec/colour/style you want. Top guy, did exactly what I wanted in the quoted timescales too.

does indeed look very good. a lot of retrims look far too obviously aftermarket, especially when people want apiping around the seats etc :roll:

really like the doorcards too, wonder how much he'd charge just to do a set of those? i hate the black vinyl cards you get with a black leathre interior :mad:
cheers,

Good looking job at a reasonable price,makes a s/h interior at £500 look expensive!
Can you put up a link or full address for everyone's benifit,please?

Cheers guys.

Richard was telling me about the doorcards, some re-trimmers glue the leather to a board...he prefers to use foam, gives a slight "padded" look. Photos don't really tell all, if you look close, they have a depth to them.

Gotta say I'm chuffed with it!! Will see some of you on Sunday 31st at Tamworth West Mids meet.

Oh the smell....... :mad:
