Leather interior retrim costs

[biggee]

Has anyone had experience of having the front and rear seats recovered.
Its an E30 M3 and the seats are already leather however there worn out.
I wondered what the typical costs are or company recommendations. I am in the north (leeds) if I could find a supplier of the leather and knew the amount to buy I could possibly do the job myself.

i wouldnt expect much change out of £2000 for a re trim in genuine leather

[blingsta]

£1500 for a full re trim mate.. but thats from companies in north london area

You have to be careful here. You get what you pay for. Ask on here for previous customers experience and ask to see photos AFTER the car has done a few miles. I've seen people pay through the nose for a retrim only for 18 months down the line, it looks like a pile of dogs shite. Poor quality hide being the main reason.

they have done an e30 before, looks good but i hate them door cards, they should have fitted the proper ones that came with an e30 with leathers

them door cards are council imo

the prices seem too good to be true

it is tempting, i would quite like grey leather in mine, but i would want to see a car that had a retrim with them a good few years down the line

It's alright seeing these pictures, but what would be nice is pictures after about a year to see what they look like then

I don't know what my fellow zoners are smoking or where they get their info from about costs but If you really want to go cheap there is a guy on the bay offering exchange seats in Leather for about £650

these are even cheaper

its obvious to me that the cost of a basic re-trim averages at about £850 but what you add on that costs the dosh...and obviously most of my fellow zoners only use the best...or most expensive

[asmith88]

that door card looks horrible what happened there?

[Alex]

but this one looks perfect

there probably trying to do a "loose" leather effect, not sure on the proper name, but what ever they have failed

[Alex]

yep thought so

BMW E36 - white loose fitting

it is still terrible

[ImysE30]

That gibsontrimming company look good

[Rodderz]

Unfortunatly,I have never seen a reatrim where I thought that IMO the leather was 100% taught enough!

[dips346]

That gibsontrimming company look good

very good but not at all cheap ,the best out they

[ImysE30]

I expect them not to be cheap if that is their standard of quality

[DaveD]

and that loose look is called "ruched" ....basically its gathered to give a wavy effect...

[scootlife]

That lot at Dynamic arent far from where i work , so might pop in and have a look at their work.

[ImysE30]
