thanks

wassup bally?

iv got headrest screans too and am trying to find someone to fit them, il let u know if i do. i dnt want to tale it to an audio shop as they charge a bomb.

Hi, thanks if you find someone local let me know , they may do a better deal for 2 customers

the guy who done mine is very cheap for doing headrests. If you want a retim it all depends what you want doing. it costs roughly £800 just for seats to be done.

nav who done your retrim mate is it local to you? ,i dont mind travelling i just want a puka job from someone who comes recomended.
cheers mate

Nav, hi can you let me have details will call them to arrange quote , do they do caroet as well
thanks

Nick i noticed you're in the Portsmouth area. The guy who trimmed the booty wagon is in the Chandlers Ford area and he's the best ive ever come across. What are you after anyway. If you want a new interior i have one for sale in cream leather done by the same guy who trimmed Nav's. It's never been sat on and i'm selling them cheap as chips

pm'd both of ya, and if your after a retrim take a look at ben's, he's just had it done and its not even used since done.

nav thanks for the pm,

ben cheers for the offer mate but i've had my heart set on a full lotus white retrim for ages, i know it would be cheaper to buy yours but i've spent thousands on the old cab in the last couple of months so a few more £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£ wont hurt (unless the wife finds out of course).

if you could pm me the details of the guy in Chandlers Ford i would be grateful.

And how you getting on with your front brakes ben anygood ? because im in need of some stopping power

PM sent mate

that cream looks great better than black, (my cab is black so would go with your interior) only problem is , I use the car daily and do about 20,000 to 25,000 miles a year..... that cream would look great for the first few months but then I would struggle to keep it looking lush. the other thing is I have grey carpet in mine this needs replacing if I could get beige carpet then it may be worth while .

Haa, but that's where you're wrong mate. The pic attached is my interior in the Rieger. I've had it for 3years+ and it still looks mint. That's because i take care of it. Admitedly i dont do as many miles as you, but i have a friend who uses his BM as a daily driver and the interior looks mint too even though it's 2 years old. Every weekend, he makes a solution of water mixed with Vanish liquid. He uses that to wipe the leather to lift all the dirt, then he uses Maguire's or Amoir leather wipes to wipe the leather. This feeds the leather and puts a protective film on the surface so any dirt sits on the surface and not absorbed bu the leather. I also have gray carpets in my car. I've someply got round the problem by getting some cream mats. If you look in your interior, hardly any of the carpet is visible. It all comes down to what you want at the end of th day mate, but i'd never let dirt stop me from having the colour i want, hence me selling the cream leathers to have a lotus white made up and yes that car will be used every day too

bally ive got a spare cream cab carpet if you need it, not in great condition but wold be fine with a clean and overmats

f*$K me im tempted, bootyman did you ever sell insurance.....
Must admit cream would look so much better than black .
with what you are selling what else would i need , (seat belt plastic, anything else need to price this up and try to justify it to myself.

Nick what sort of price you after ,where are you may need to have a quick look first.
thanks
(PS you both working together on this by any chance)

Here are a couple of pics of what mine looks like after over 3 years in my car. I keep a seat cover in the car and always cover the seats when i'm dirty. I also give them a good wipe down every weekend and then feed them and they are as good as new.

With my interior you wont need anything. You also have the advantage that he hasn't done the hood cover yet, so you just drive it there for half a day and he will trim your hood cover and make you a hand brake and gear gator whilst you wait. All the rest of the interio i covered up in my garage. I can sell it on ebay easily enough cause anyone who knows about interiors will know that it's worth nearly £3k to have the same things trimmed and that's why i'm stuttering hoping someone from the Zone buy's it

This is a pic of the actual trim when Patrick picked them up from the trimmers a week or so ago. I wanted to take some pics of all of it together, but it rained all Sunday and i had to catch my flight so didn't get a chance to take some

bally im in portsmouth £50 and its yours call me 07738020662
