car upholsters Portsmouth area?

[george123]

Hi - I want to get the roof lining in my Alfa GTV changed, probably to alcantara as I can it for a good price from work. Anyone recommend someone who can do it for me?

Have googled these guys who are local - anyone use them? thks

I wouldnt personally use a company to retrim my headlining whose core competance/offering is car audio. If they have a partner who does this type of work for them, they will be brokering the deal and earning from it too.

I used Seats Galore in Bishops Waltham a few years ago to retrim the entire interior and door cards for my car. I believe they renamed themselves rei-trim, but not sure if they still exist? Their work was spot on IMO.

Not Portsmouth, but I can thoroughly recommend Mike at Wessex Car Trimming in Southampton. Very happy with the work he did on my CRX ~20 years ago and on my Skunk this year.

Richmond and James in Waterlooville did a superb job on one of my Lotus's after another local trimmer cocked it up. Have used them on several occasions since and still rate them highly, good on price too.

Without hijacking the thread, do these guys do leather restoration?

I'm sure they do because I was there when they were trying to match a leather seat that had been ripped.

I'll see if I can borrow my mates concours V12 coupe for you to have a look at some time then.

There's something I'd love to see, might give Lez an insight of what I'd like to achieve with our investment!

Thanks all, will follow up on these recommendations. Initial quote was £280 for a stock nylon.
I'm thinking of getting the headlining swapped for alcantara as I can get a few metres of it cheap from work, anyone tried this?? Think there might be issues with it since it doesn't stretch so won't fit well into any curves ? Looking at images of maseratis and astons the alcantara is used only on the flat part of the roof lining, not down pillars.
