I am just about to book my Elise in at Nick Whale for a service and wondered if anyone knew if they have a retrim service, and if so how much it is and is it any good!??

I want to get my seats done in alcantara to stop myself sliding all over the place on the track and I would need the door inserts done as well - anyone got any idea how much it would cost?

Dont know but from what I've heard you would be hard pressed to get a better or cheaper job than Lotus themselves. Call the factory and speak to Mel Broome. Only problem is you may need to send both seats off to them for a few weeks meaning no driving.

Alternatively I think Hangar 111 do re trims as well.

I believe Hangar 111 actually send their retrim jobs to the Lotus factory trim shop so its probably better to deal with Lotus direct.

Hi Benji, we do organise retrim work which is undertaken by the Lotus Trim Shop in Hethel.

For more details please give Ian Garret a call and he'll be happy to discuss work they can do and have previously undertaken for us in behalf of customers

Edited to say, Lotus do not accept work direct from customers and will refer you to your local dealer (which is NW I suspect in your case)

I personally found that the sales staff at N. Whales were unhelpful.

These do a good job and will do what's required to your specification.
