Trimman

[mr2turbo300]

Anybody know whether the factory or Martin B do repairs to seats still. Got a small hole in mine,and a couple of local places don't want to touch it. I PM'd trimman as I thought he did these originally but didn't reply. Failing that anybody recomend anybody around Chesterfield (Mike T - bet you have some contacts ?)
Cheers,
Rob.

Slightly off topic, but who produced the padded head rests for the seats? I'm not saying the seats are particularly uncomfortable on a long drive but I usually end up with a pillow behind my head to / from Le Mans. I'd like something a bit more refined. Was it Trimman?

I saw those once - they just pushed over the top of the seat. If you find out and they can make some more then I am sure a group buy would be in order - well done for volunteering

Something like this in alcantara would be great

I had them on my 3R, and they push your head way too far forward, and the d velcro doesn't hold them on.When I got the M400 I has some made by the factory, I assume via Trimman with the M400 logo to match the seats, they lierally push over the top of the existing seat and are perfect.

Well that's what I want then - good shout for taking over the group buy

If there's no joy with Trimman I have a car upholsterer I've used with good results in the past with alcantara type fabric. I can get a price off him if anyone wants and he can use mine as a template.

Yep Phone Noble and get it booked in for a seat repair, my mate is one of the upholsters there and the quality of his work is first class.
They will modify the interior to your own specifications if you want and they also fully upgrade alot of Ultima interiors, basically they will cover all your interior/upholstery requirements.

Re. the headrests, I ordered some a few months ago for the M400 - as was said above, they're thinner and just push over the top of the seat - they also look great as they're in black alcantara with the M400 logo embroidered just like the seat. Got them via Martyn (Trimman).
Martyn runs the trimshop at the Noble factory now (rather than having a separate trim business), so if you want to get in contact with him, just phone the factory and ask to speak to him. Link is here.
They also do repairs as has been mentioned above too.

Conrad - thanks for that. I will call Martyn tomorrow and order some. If anyone else wants a set then let me know asap and I will see what they can do.

Just dug the invoice out from 3 years ago, 150 quid + vat for the pair.The materials involved probably add up to about 15 quid of that but they do fit, work and look good. I can try and geta photo up in the next few days if anyone wants?

Yes!! I would like some thin ones ....

I have the thick ones at the moment but they are too thick.

However ... I have a custom interior ... with doe leather ... could you match it?

Or I could send you the larger ones I have and then you could reuse the leather and use them to retrim a set of thinner ones?

Thanks

P.S. Thanks to Simon for pointing me to this thread!! AWESOME!
