Retrimming and interior

[SlartiF430]

Hey all. If I spot a car I like but don't like the interior then what is the actual feasibility of getting it fully retrimmed? Has anyone done this? Does it show if it hasn't been done properly? Does it require the leathers from the original manufacturer or can a trim company cut the trim themselves using their own hides? Thoughts on cost? Many thanks!

The ease of retrimming generally depends on the car.
Does it need its door cards, dash and carpets trimming in addition to the seats?

Good point. I think it probably would.

I'm in the northwest but spend half my life in London. Contacts would be handy actually. I think it's one of these things you do via referral as it's such a skilled task. Don't want to end up with saggy seats!

Thanks folks. I'm not too fussed if they're far away. I'd rather hand the car over to people who really know what they're doing. I'm thinking of buying a keeper - maybe an original vanquish. In some cases the interiors are worn or just a colour that I don't like.

In this instance my company could assist, on the Notts/Derby border.

Great. I'll call you during the week to get an idea of what's in involved, costs etc.
