Thinking of a retrim as the car I wanted never came up for sale in a full year so I may as well sort my own out as the exterior is the colour I like ( Formula Red). A retrim in full black leather with carbon inserts to doors, seat centres and radio surround, plain black leather to gear/handbrake gaitor. Red stitching throughout and a carbon centre console as per hollowpockets. Black carpets with red piping. Black trim to steering wheel column switches and instrument flap. Seat backs are already red and I have a momo wheel fitted.
Recommended trimmers north of Manchester or some ex factory company or whoever wishes to quote.
Help appreciated from any Tivvers with good experiences.
Thanks

Hi Rob, we are having a quotation done for the Tamora, on Sunday, by a couple of ex factory trimmers who have just started up in business. Drop me a PM and I'll give you the details.

Edited to add that the are operating in the North West

Get yourself a good dark pair of sunglasses and rally on - or spend a few days locked in a coal hole - then you'd be glad of a nice light airy interior.

Comment: Has anyone ever been impressed by the factory trim level then?

I'm sure these individuals are good though, esp working for themsselves.

maybe better now as there is a greater incentive in working for themselves, no one to fall back on.

We had our Tamora done at KRJ (ex Martrim i think) in Middlewich. Complete interior done. Absolutely cracking job and great price.

I called the factory (when they were in operation) and this is the one they recommended

Not this week, though, the bloke has hurt his back, which means I have to wait for my new leather bits grumpy

Three recommendations then. One from themselves and two from others, one not yet confirmed. Still in thought process, but for Gods sake is that it!

Was that seats, dash, centre console, doors, around the windscreen etc?

The whole lot !!!!

I think some bits could have been better, but its still fine. Thats why I am interested to know what other people have been paying.

Had to get the windscreen replaced as well for £450 because it holds the dash top trim in place.
