Ayr, been quoted £600 to £1000 so far. Not tried DC yet was looking for somewhere a bit closer

Gosh that sounds awfully expensive for a chim re carpet, going to be using a company just outside Glasgow for the retrim, prices are very reasonable and quality is excellent (apparently) let me know if you want there details

That would be great thanks very much

[egoold]

Still not made my mind up on this one and struggling to find a company in central scotland that is willing and able to do the job, and that i trust.

Any way in the mean time stumbled across pictures of str8six sagaris interior which looks great. However not sure if it would go with a silver exterior?

Red and Black Euan...
Red and Black

[egoold]

Thanks red and black is still a favourite. After reading another thread that i think you posted on I gave craig at track v road a call to ask about the trimmer they use.

[RedSpike66]

Craig seemed pretty impressed with him. I haven't seen his work yet myself, but I'm sure Craig has.

[egoold]

Well dropped the car off with the re-trimmer today. Going for a red and black theme with black stitching. I know it won't be to everyone's taste but should be fairly striking and unique once finished.

Pictures... Pictures... Pictures....

apparently patience is a virtue !

[egoold]

Well you will be in for a bit of a wait. I'm off on holiday for a week hopefully be done when I get back.

[JonyTVR]

missed this before but deffo the right decision for the red and black, might not be to everyones taste but then aslong as you like it who cares! personally and or black car with a red leather interior is just porn!

[egoold]

So nervous to see how it turns out. Either going to be stunning (IMHO) or completely awful. I'm actually glad I'm away next week to stop me thinking that I might have made a mistake.

well just back from holiday and went down to see how things were going. Now its not going to be to everyone taste but one thing for sure the standard of workmanship and attention to detail is amazing







Lots and lots of other bits were lying about all trimmed and the black alcantara headling was all fitted to the car, cant wait to see it all back complete.

Yip, Certainly not going to be everyones taste.

This is the last thing that I have wanted to do to the car so hopefully get out and use it some more. Going up to knock hill in the17th which should be interesting.

The retrimer is a company in Glasgow called Baillies came recomended by a few people, and so far it looks like they are doing a good job.

[Laser Sag]

Would reserve judgement on the colour until I see the finished bits in the car but the workmanship judging by those pictures is excellent

[egoold]

Agreed, I may have dubious taste in car interiors but was blown away by the level of workmanship and attention to detail they have done. Stupid little things like on the back of the seat where it meets the black shell of the seats they put black leather in 10mm all round so that it blends in seamlessly.

I only asked them (at the last minute) to change the headlining from blue cloth to black, instead they have put a lovely black alcantara type material in.

My seats are currently with D&C Trim having the same quilted (or cross stitch) effect being done (only in grey) - if they look as good as yours then I will be happy
