Griff - Half or Full

[NoGriff]

Converting a Half Hide Griff to Full hide - viable or not ? Cost ? Anyone had it done ?

[simpo two]

IIRC it's about £3K so not my idea of good value! Have a look in the archives.

The last couple of weeks have been a good advert for cloth. If I don't burn myself on the door-knob, handbrake or gearstick, I'll do it on the hide.

Still not complaining, though.

Leather is one of those weird things....totally inpractical ie. Freezing in winter, sweaty and uncomfortable in summer...BUT, the SMELL, the SMELL....i luv it, and it just makes the car look so much more British and classy

Not sure its worth 3k though.....

Selling car and getting another with full leather would be cheeper / easier - but can't see the point of that

If the main purpose is for the smell then suggest you use plenty of Liquid Leather or similar on those parts that are leather.

Smells good to me.....

I suspect you could get one of the independant trimmers to do it for a fairly reasonable price.

I'll retrim it fully for £150 if you supply the leather.

It will be a sh** job though!

Try a local trimmer, I am having some leather replaced and both seats then re-conolised for only £160 at a trimmer over in Ipswich so might not be that expensive to replace cloth!
