Retrimming

[captainmark]

The interior my 993 is beginning to look a bit worn - it's marble grey and has been previously badly connolised - so looking to get the front seats, gear gaiter, handbrake, centre console and door handles re-trimmed.

I've been down to Southbound but the waiting list is 3 months... They mentioned they supply the OEM leather to other trimmers.

Does anyone know who they supply to? Interested to find out who else has the OEM leather so can see if I can get it done this done of Christmas.

I'm based in West London.

Many thanks
Mark

try http://www.b-trim.co.uk/ in edmonton enfield area they have been around for years they are very cheap aswell they do BMW's from new people think their leather is done at the factory but the dealers pay these guys

Yes, I used to use B-Trim when I was a sales manager for BMW, they do a very good job. They used to charge us about £1,000 + VAT for a 4 door car including all the door trims with the airbag stitching in place, same as from factory.
Sometimes we even had new cars done by them.
Although I have never used anyone else to give a fair comparison.

You could try Surrey Trimmers based in Addlestone/New Haw Surrey, Jct 11 M25. They are a small outfit that do everything from 1930's RRs to Porsches.

I'll pm with details of a great old bloke who did some amazing repairs for me on an old Daimler recently. He's in Gidea Park. The nice thing about 993s is that they come apart nice and easily and there are no airbags. Best bet is to strip the bits you want doing out of the car and give them to the trimmer.

www.gibsonandboyne.com quality of work is superb , don't be put off by the outrageous show cars they do a lot of, as they can equally re-trim to OEM spec to an exceptionally high standard.

Thanks for suggestions. Do these trimmers use OEM leather? Don't want to lose the perforated leather on the seats!
