Houndstooth inserts for bucket seats, anyone had this done?

[gwsinc]

I’d like to have the inserts on my carbon bucket seats retrimmed with a classic houndstooth pattern.

Can anyone recommend a decent trimmer in the Hampshire area that won’t break the bank?

I’ve seen pre-made insert covers online for between £600 and £2000(!) which is more than I’d like to spend.

I need to stop watching Wheeler Dealers, it’s giving me all these expensive ideas!

Thanks in advance.

Thanks all so far, I should have said they’re folding buckets and 918 covers won’t fit (as there’s an additional foam piece to allow for folding!).

I think a retrimmers may be the only way to go?

Dave the Trimmer is very good. I'm not sure what he would charge for this though.

Houndstooth on the buckets does look good. Here on my 2RS

I know that the '2RS is supposed to be a bit of a rocket, but I didn't realise you drove the thing flat on your back looking upwards......................

I'd give Linus @ lsdesign a shout.
Think he's in Surrey.

These guys? http://www.designls.co.uk

Looks like they’ve done quite a bit of work on Porsches.

Will call them tomorrow, thanks for the tip.

Another recommendation for Designls. Linus’s craftsmanship is second to none.

I like this a lot. I’m now seriously considering getting the seats done in my family tartan

That’d be cool. When it’s done let’s see some pictures

Oof, that looks rather lovely. Is there a thread anywhere on the changes you had made to the interior?
