For those of you that wanted to see the results of my seats being re-trimmed/re-conolised, please see the photos below for before and after shots! I am very happy with the quality of the work and can highly recommend the trimmer who is based near Ipswich!

Before




After






The seats are a slightly different colour, but its not that noticeable in normal light and I am going to have that done too. Its apparently because TVR make a slightly different Magnolia colour to others, its lighter!! Thats TVR for you!! But it has made a big difference to the interior and they look like new seats now!!

If you want to know the details of the trimmer, see bigger photos, costs etc... e-mail me!

Looking good! Were the seats fully retrimmed or was some of it down to treatment of the existing leather?

The drivers seat cushion was completely replaced as it was cracked beyond repair! The passenger cushion seat had the 2 edge pieces replaced as they were a bit hard and the rest was just re-conditioned/coloured, they look great, I am happy. He also put some leather under the 'cheese wire' support underneath which stops the seat sagging and they are also now more supportive!!

New leather looks real nice - bet you're chuffed - where did you get the steering wheel from? Looks fantastic!

The steering wheel was on the car when I bought it, its a 'Moto Lita' wheel you can get them from specialist suppliers! They are not the best for driving to be honest, a little thin, I keep it as I like the look of it, although I am used to it now!!

Hi Andy,
Not as such but if you want to bring your car round early and I will ask Mark to come early too, we can scare the neighbours!!!

With you driving I am not sure my neighbours would like that

So can you make it over on the 20th? Will you be in the Tiv?
