Bit too 'kitchen towel' for my taste but looks a great job and as long as you like it - go drive and enjoy !!

[good40]

Maybe in the original colour scheme ? Just bit to dark for me but looks quality!

[tvrboy55]

same here.it looks too closed in for me.but nice work though, must have cost you prety pennys?

[VictorMeldrew]

Not my taste at all, a bit to fetish for me, but undoubtedly very well done, and obvious quality. I'd be over the moon with a quality refit like that, and well done for having the cojones to go with something different.

very good, never heard it described as 'kitchen towel' or 'fetish' before but I see your point.

The cabin does feel far more cosy now that it's darker and changing the dash so there isn't a big gutter running along it has also made it feel more snug. This is how I wanted it to feel, I love being in a car when you feel encapsulated and in your own little bubble separated from the outside. And when it does feel closed in I just pop the roof in the boot. If anyone wanst a look I'll be at the SS at Gaydon this weekend, If the weather is decent I'll leave the roof off so you can poke your nose in

I actually think I saw your car when I was down there.

He had a TVR just like this and a black mini. I had all the interior of my VX220 retrimmed to match my lotus probax seats. He does an excellent job doesn't he.

Hi Magpie21,

Just working out the detail of a retrim myself and was wondering if you could tell me how the alcantara seats have held up to use? Are they showing any signs of wear anywhere, and is there anything you would change if you were doing it again?

Many thanks

Hi, the seats are holding up just fine, I had the car scotchguard protected and all they need is a wipe with a damp microfibre cloth and they come up like new. They aren't showing any signs of wear and the whole car has been far easier to keep looking good than I thought. As for doing anything differently, nope, I still love it and it still has that new car smell too

Thankyou, yep everything is alcantara, no carpet in the cabin now whatsoever. Dave did make me a set of carpet mats also but the alcantara is so easy to look after I've barely used them.
