Hi again. I'm after the name/contact details for the guys who renovated the green seat in the/your flip flop white griffith. I thought they did an amazing job. Would like them to give my seats a good seeing to biglaughI did have their card but seem to have lost it. Also lost my tax disc on the way home when it blew out of the window cry

thanks for digging out their details

It was Furniture Clinic www.furnitureclinic.co.uk. I bought some of their leather cleaner and protection cream.

Agreed, they did a fantastic job on the seat. Well worth it! clap

I've not seen their work, nor do I know anything about the methods employed.

I've bought second hand cars with perfect leather. A couple of months down the line and they're scuffed to feck. I have come to the conclusion that the vendors get the leather 'repaired' to help with the sale. As I've suggested, this may be done for a fiver by cowboys, but it's my experience.

Because of my experiences, I'd get a reference, recommendation or three from satisfied customers of at least six months standing, preferably a year.

The company promoted at the Growl and others may well do a fine, lasting job which is good VFM.

It wasn't cheap - £175. But recovering 2 seats is £800-£1,000 and I've got to bugger about getting them out and putting them back in. Be interesting to see how long the repairs last I guess.

Chap said to me that the re-finish should be more enduring than the original. Be interesting to find out; was impressive though.
