Retrim decision time

[egoold]

Sorry maybe should have put a smiley face after my comment about taste. i just think that it will divide opinion when its complete, and am not even sure myself if it will work

it's just I am not very good at seeing the individual parts and imagining them as a whole. I need to see the finished article to be able to judge if I like it or not.

That is exactly the problem i was and am having. Initially was going to keep black accent pieces in the seats and door cards and then at the last minute decided to do them all in red leather, and its the little details like that that will make or break it. I too find it very difficult to visualise it when its in pieces.

Looks good to me but are your heater and blower knobs the wrong way round?

[blackiepaul]

who did the retrim?

[egoold]

A company in Glasgow called Baillies. Dont want to say too much until see the complete finished article but am far from disappointed in the bits I have seen that they have trimmed, the dash in the car looks flavless

It looks good ! I just had mine retrimmed in black and mulberry, nearly went red leather, did you choose the make of leather ? Andrew muirhead is the leather Tvr used. Those seats look fantastic, look forward to the finished article.

That looks great , I hope your going to repaint the adjustable runner handle

They've done a cracking job of that seat Euan. Looks really good so far. Will you be at Chatsworth showing it off ??

[egoold]

yes the slider bar looks horrible will ask it they can do something to tidy it up.

They look like Tamora seats?

[coco79]

They do indeed, wonder if they provide any support above the tuscan seats or just go for re-upholstered sparcos?

They look nice but offer bugger all support, and yes they are T350/Tam seats.

Today's update. Popped down to drop off a few things, and took a couple of photos.

Spoke to them about seat runner and they are going to trim it instead of painting it which will look much nicer.





They are working on the door cards today which are going to be half quilted can't wait to see them.

Looks lovely..almost makes me wish I had taken that apprenticeship at Carpet Right

[Barry Ashcroft]

It's gonna look the bks when finished of that I have no doubt

[hiltonig]

Is it red or mulberry colour .? Also what leather u using ?

[egoold]

Its red leather, which is brighter than mulberry. i believe it is Bridge of Weir leather which is manufactured just 2 miles up the road from the re-trimmers
