Looking to get my 350Z cloth seats re-trimmed in leather.

Checked out Yellow Pages and 4 re-trimmers mentioned for Edinburgh :-
a) Ramsay Coach Trimmers, Loanhead
b) Hannen, Musselburgh
c) Jim Kelly, Watson Street
d) The Car Trimming Centre, Loanhead

Anyone with recommendations, good/bad reviews on any of these guys ? Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Steelbru

Willie Ramsay done the roof on my TVR. Excellent job. Pricey, but then again, good workmanship dosen't come cheap.

Hello
Ramsay Coachtrimmers (near Ikea) replaced the rear window on my TVR, as well as making a footwell plate (it was missing when I got the car so he created it from scratch).

Great workmanship. Really helpful.
Didn't find the price too bad, given the amount of work involved.

He also had some really interesting cars in for work at the same time: a pretty vile Supra with all sorts of aftermarket stuff (gullwing doors, anyone...?) and a gorgeous classic Jag. With that diverse range of clientele you have to concede that he must know his stuff!

Willie Ramsay did the 'interior' of the tvrolet without ever seeing the car. I made up paper templates and he made up the alcontara & carpet panels to suit...so he's real accomodating with whatever you want done - the whole car or just a few bits here and there. On my numerous visits there was a real wide selection of cars he was working on from vintage stuff, XJS, TVRs, Astons etc. Can't comment on anyone else as I've only used Willie, but no reason for me to go elsewhere anyway.

That's 3-0 to Willie Ramsay - looks like he's the one to go and pay a visit.

Cheers guys
