I`ve just got the option of replacing the whole interior with a newer version.Does anyone know how to do it and is it easy or a T**T of a job?

It isnt an upgrade though! The front seats arent as good / well made. The rear seats have less room.

Never realised the rear seats were smaller.

I am not sure if they are smaller BUT I think they might be. The key thing is that the tuscan seats restrict legroom in the rear even more (or so I read once).

...and the side bolsters have very little internal stiffening and get very floppy with wear from getting in and out of set from what I saw in a LW cerb.

I replaced mine nearly a year ago and yes is a T**T of a job espically the rear seats as they are made up with 6 seporate sections each.
Hard job at the time but in my opinion well worth it, completely transforms the look of the car

Anyone know the price of a complete retrim? Just after a ballpark figure, anyone had this done?

I've heard numerous times that for a CERBERA its around £2500 - £3000 for a decent indi job...

So the Griff would be somewhat lower I would suspect.

It was for a Cerbera so thanks! I've been thinking of swaping the griff for a while now and am holding out for the spec I like. Have seen one that looks suitable bar the interior so was interested in the costs. Given your figures I think it's probably worth me holding out a bit longer for the correct spec.

Cheers,
Graham
