Griff retrim : Interior shots please.....

[bomb]

I may well be getting my Griff retrimmed, so would appreciate some of your intreior trim pics please.

If you have had a recent retrim, lets see the results.

I did a search for the car from Belgium with quilting, but couldn't find that thread again.

My car is Ocean Haze, and will most likely go for a green / stone mix, with piping on the seats and selected inserts to be alterante colours.

Looking forward to seeing your own ideas.

Panel light quick easy fix. Inexpensive. 2 min job. Could do with some new veneer.



Trim does for me.


Notice seat belt parking.

More pics of Ocean Haze trim, does for me. Leather could do with some BM 'Leder-Pflegeset mit UV-Schuts'cleaner.
Note seat belt parking.

Have a look at Dave the Trimmer's site for some more inspiration.

will do.

OP, if you are retrimming Please [if not already] make sure the dash colour matches the door surounds and NOT door inserts with different colour surrounds as so many Griffs have been ruined from new because of this. See one against the other and you'll know what I mean. Of course you may already know this, I'm just trying to help you get it right instead of so wrong.

Oh yes. The dash must match the wraparound theme of the door trim etc. Duly noted ! I have seen the opposite, and I think it looks wrong. 10/10 for observation.

I am at the moment looking at combinations and colours for my Griff retrim. I agree with macdeb re the same colour on dash surround as doors and centre console, but I do like the effect of having a different contrasting colour on the door cards inside the surrounds. I intend to have mine done in alcantara matching the carpet colour. Just a thought. Also, get loads of samples from the trimmer to try against your car! My trimmer let me have a large range of colour leather and carpet samples. All the best and good luck, Pete

Alcantara on door inserts matching carpet gets my vote [that's what I did] as I reckon the carpet looks naff'. I put a thin layer [10mm] of foam underneath first to give it a smooth padded feel.

Great idea re the thin layer of foam under the Alcantara, I shall definitely go with that, regards, Pete
