This is to say a massive thank you to the guys at Automedon...

Even though i am in cornwall i was recommended to take the trip to blackpool..drove up, left car...went on holiday and have now collected it.

They have had my griff to re-leather the interior for me...and wow..they have done a fantastic job..it looks stunning...it now has black full leather trim, with green stitching..the hood has been replaced and stitched to match car...

only complaint i have is i will have to spend ages each week keeping it clean...lol

Guys, thank you for all the work you did for me..

I recommend anybody thinking of getting a retrim to see them..knowledgable and very friendly...if you want to see the standard of the work, come view my griff...

next the respray lol

Click the "formatting help" at the top of your reply box. This will give you info on inserting stuff like pictures.

Essentially:

well they are very very good, the people i work with are very impressed...i use a range rover or sport most days and the leather trim in my car puts them to shame...

as an aside, how do you remove the light pods for respraying ?

Remove the access plates inside the wheel arche, undo the mounting bracket and then pull the light pods backwards slightly before twisting and removing the lights forwards through the aperture.
