New leather and carpets
Discussion
What's that for?
If you get tailored carpets, you could fit them yourself?
That's £360.00 I've cut my own and fitting,
Granted not as good a finish but will treat myself at some point to tailored ones.
It would be interesting to ask about the leather and how much they would charge if you supplied the Leather?
I've sourced somewhere where you can get a full hide for £100.00
That would probably do it, and you can buy half,so worse case £150.00
That's £510.00 I'm pretty sure You will get everything recovered for a grand give or take probably less, it's only labour and i recon a couple if days work for them?
Grand total £1510.00. I may be a bit under or over but it ain't 3k
The company sound a bit top heavy to me mate.

Got an informal price at a local car show to re do the wedge interior by a well known company around Reading, £3000 approx, dunno i can afford that.
I'd expect a full retrim for that money which would include..Dash out..Re-trimmed seats, New hood and targa as well as carpet and overmats..Anything less is a pish take...ZigaHi
D&C Trim Back at the factory only wanted £350 for a set of carpets for my FHC (Fit my self)
To do the whole car, roof linning the lot was less than what your quote was!
For £3k I presume its Gold larmay with tasails around the windows!
No £3k realy if you include a new roof all the leather (Dash etc) actualy is not far off what it would cost!
Roof £700
Seats £450-£500 each Thats not just the leather but new foam etc.
Dash centre consul etc recovered about £400
Door cards etc £100 each Again not just recovering new backing material etc.
Carpets £350 + fitting about £250
Steering wheel recovered £100
Take about a week to do!
So it just depends on what you have done!
Would you work for less than £100 unskilled and skilled you want £200 + a day
Its cheaper if you do it yourself!
But the old saying you get what you pay fore!
Shop around some people will do it cheaper and some will cost more!

They did include the seats at £500 each but not the hood as that was done about 6 years ago, id like to have a go myself as we've pretty much had it all out at some point or other so i know how it all comes apart, it would have to be a respray first though, Ive been debating a different colour for ages but when push comes to shove will probably settle for gold again but add a twist of some sort.
