Nickel plated interior knobs
Discussion
Great project 
I'll be pulling mine to bits to tone it down once I've sold my DBS in the UK. You've Q'd it without Q
Out if interest, how costly is this in the US? Pulling the interior apart is easy enough which saves a good chunk on labour but I fear new leather and other bits may prove very costly.

Q'd without the Q.. I like it! I'll be pulling mine to bits to tone it down once I've sold my DBS in the UK. You've Q'd it without Q

Thank you. I have no problem sharing the cost to do this. Obviously the labor to pull things apart hasn't been an issue.. If you had to pay a shop to do this, it would become pretty steep very quickly. Lots of hours to remove and then properly refit everything.
I purchased the leather hides myself directly from Aston Martin's supplier "Bridge Of Weir". So the trim shop is billing me for labor only essentially to do their work. I'm being charged $3500usd for the labor to retrim the seats, door panels and the pieces that make up the rear storage area.
I didn't think this was too bad based on my experience dealing with upholstery shops. The seats themselves are a considerable amount of work obviously. I should mention also that the shop I chose is recognized as one of the very best in the area and routinely builds show winning interiors.. Their work is absolutely without compromise. I certainly could have gotten this done for less money elsewhere, but I was happy to pay a bit more for these guys.

Great effort, I agree completely, talent costs money so sadly you need to pay the bills. The price seem fair to me Thank you. I have no problem sharing the cost to do this.
