Just got my seats re-trimmed by D&C. I'm really pleased - what do people think? The flash from the camera makes them look a lot lighter than they really are.

They look great, have you got any shots of the whole seat? I much prefer the quilting being the whole of the centre panel rather than just half way up the backrest as most I've seen.

I have got some more photos but it was quite a dark day when i took the photos and the flash played funny tricks with the colour so not going to post those. However, D&C trim are doing my handbrake and gearstick gaiters as well - when they are done and back in the car I'll take lots of pics - on a sunny day!! - and post.

I'm glad to hear the positive reaction!

Regards

Question is do I do a seat retrim as well now... Hmm.,. Was looking at just the card inserts for the quilting, but those photos tempt me...

I decided against the door cards - IMHO, the quilting suits the seats as it looks like a kind of grip on the seat.

There was however a gorgeous spectraflair silver T350c at surface design (next door to D&C) which had the door cards, seat inserts and headlining done. It looked awesome.

Looks very well done indeed. Personally I don't like the diamond shaped quilting in general but that does not change the fact that it looks like a very well executed retrim.

Looks awesome! I love the quilted finish. I think it might be getting a bit common though hehe

It looks lovely. Were the whole seats retrimmed or just the middle bits?

Does anyone know roughly what DC would charge for a complete car (T350C)?
I'd really like the whole lot done as the carpet has faded from blue to yellow(??), and the vinyl looks a bit nasty.

I'd go for the same black and grey to be honest - I think you've picked the best combo there.

Thanks - I was expecting some mixed feedback. Maybe the people who are not keen have been kind enough not to post because not wishing to offend!!

Just the seat inserts ("middle bits") were re-trimmed however they did also do a great job of patching up some scuff work on the drivers side bolsters. They made that look like new also!!

Brace yourself - I think you are looking at £6k ish. When I was at D&C there was atleast one T350, one Sag and at Wedge all having full re-trims.

You are the second poster who thinks the dark colour is black - its not, its very deep green which I think goes well with the outside colour of my car (see profile pic). I think the grey brings out the best in the green because of the contrast.

Cheers

You will be seeing mine!! Picked up my griff from them last Saturday

All I will say is: awesome

Apart from the guys who helped me trailer it back home, no body has seen the interior, not even Neil Garner! As organiser of the event, I thought it best my interior ( with a twist) will be unveiled by D&C themselves!

For what they have done and there level of service - nobody can touch them!

See you on Saturday!
